Running on a Pilot Light

I've been running on a pilot light
Just a flicker but it keeps me going
Lately, it's been so hard to find

Every night I get a little low
But every day, I get a little bit closer
To finding out it's been here the whole time

Oh, and when it's dim
I know it's temporary
Even when I'm close to empty

I've been running on a pilot light
Fueling fire just to get me by
Hold my hands up and I close my eyes
To feel something, I keep running

Hope I make it through another year
Without burning in the atmosphere
And if I'm burning, then at least I'm feeling
Something, I keep running, I keep running

Hoo-ooh
Hoo-ooh
Hoo-ooh
Hoo-ooh

Sometimes I wake up with my eyes closed
'Cause I've been living with a mind half open
Guess you really gotta see it, to believe it

I've been wearing thin
And I know it's temporary
Even when I'm close to empty

I've been running on a pilot light
Fueling fire just to get me by
Hold my hands up and I close my eyes
To feel something, I keep running

Hope I make it through another year
Without burning in the atmosphere
And if I'm burning, then at least I'm feeling
Something, I keep running, I keep running

Hoo-ooh
Hoo-ooh
Hoo-ooh
Hoo-ooh

I spend my whole life running
To feel something, to feel something
I spend my whole life running
To feel something, to feel something

I've been running on a pilot light
Fueling fire just to get me by
Hold my hands up and I close my eyes
To feel something, I keep running

Hope I make it through another year
Without burning in the atmosphere
And if I'm burning, then at least I'm feeling
Something, I keep running, I keep running

I spend (ooh) my whole life running (ooh)
To feel something (ooh), to feel something (ooh)
I spend (ooh) my whole life running (ooh)
To feel something (ooh), to feel something (ooh)
