Stole from a place born of winter
Snuck away under a starless night
There the moon passed its time in hiding
Riding out the silence of the fading light
Across a sea of endless concrete
Eating our fill of radio waves
Out in the empty we feel we're forgiven
I hold your hand as you drift away
Why are we running all these empty miles?
Crying for loves long dead and gone
Talk to me about your empty miles
I know how it feels to carry on
Cloak myself in lovely language
A smiling face for the gallows scene
I never lie when I say I'm cold-hearted

We're smart enough to know our own weakness
We can list all of the words we don't believe
And never want the ones that want us
We're just too in love with the feeling of grief so
Why are we running all these empty miles?
Crying for loves long dead and gone
Talk to me about your empty miles
I know how it feels to carry on
Everyone loves you in the shadows
Whiskey smiles and dirty eyes
Too much to drink, too many cigarettes
And loneliness in cheap supply
But in the daylight we'll all be strangers
Ragged faces in the morning heat
With all these bottles stacked all around us
We're dead downtown in a ghost city so
Why are we running all these empty miles?
Crying for loves long dead and gone
Talk to me about your empty miles
I know how it feels to carry on
Slowly it becomes a dream
Some fleeting thought only held in a picture frame
So melt with me again
Before the sands of time complete their cruel work's end
Talk to me about your empty miles
I know how it feels, I know how they roll on
All of these empty miles
Crying for loves long dead and gone
Talk to me about your empty miles, I
