In The Long Run

Since you've been gone, I've been thinking 'bout it all Since you've been gone, I've been bouncing off the wall I know it's wrong to be mixing alcohols Love before liquor, never been sicker Since you've been gone, I've been working overtime Since you've been gone, I've been keeping occupied But moving one's like a full-time 9-to-5 Wheeling and dealing just to forget the feeling

Of you in my arms How does something so right end up so wrong?

Now I'm in somebody else's bed, thinking 'bout you and me Trying to clear my head, but I get no clarity Cause even when I'm with someone I'm still coming up short in the long run

Got to admit I am short here while it lasts Got to admit that the morning's kick my ass I reminisce about us after the fact High as the ceiling, just to forget the feeling

Of you in my arms How does something so right end up so wrong?

Now I'm in somebody else's bed, thinking 'bout you and me Trying to clear my head, but I get no clarity Cause even when I'm with someone I'm still coming up short in the long run In the long run In the long run

No quick fix for this disease When a heart breaks you gotta let it bleed No quick for this disease When a heart breaks you gotta let it bleed

Now I'm in somebody else's bed, thinking 'bout you and me Trying to clear my head, but I get no clarity Cause even when I'm with someone I'm still coming up short in the long run Still coming up short in the long run I'm in somebody else's bed I get no clarity
