The clock strikes ten and I'm still here
Papers pile up, deadlines near
Chasing dreams in these office rooms
Working late, I'm runnin' on fumes
Runnin' on fumes, can't find the spark
Longing for you in the dark
Though I'm weary, my love resumes
Needing refuge from runnin' on fumes
Phones keep ringing, lights so bright
Trading sleep for work each night
But my heart, it yearns, and it assumes
Home's the place when runnin' on fumes
Runnin' on fumes, can't find the spark
Longing for you in the dark
Though I'm weary, my love resumes
Needing refuge from runnin' on fumes
Coffee cups and midnight calls
Echo through these empty halls
But thoughts of you dispel the glooms
I'm holding on when runnin' on fumes
Dreaming of your warm embrace
Gentle whispers, soft and grace
I'd trade this work and boardroom plumes
To be with you, not runnin' on fumes
Runnin' on fumes, can't find the spark
Longing for you in the dark
Though I'm weary, my love resumes
Needing refuge from runnin' on fumes.
