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 be sicker

Since you've been gone I've been working overtime

Since you've been gone I've been keeping occupied

But moving on's like a full-time nine-to-five

Wheelin' and dealin' just to forget the feelin'

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, baby, when I'm with someone

I'm still coming up short in the long run

Got to admit I enjoy it while it lasts

Got to admit that the mornings 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 baby 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

Whoa-oh-oh-oh

No quick fix for this disease

Whoa-oh-oh-oh

When a heart breaks you gotta let it bleed

Whoa-oh-oh-oh

Now I'm in somebody else's bed

Thinking 'bout you and me

Trying to clear my head

But I get no clarity

'Cause baby when I'm with someone

I'm still coming up short in the long run

I'm in somebody else's bed

I get no clarity
