About the song
'On Empty' is a song, written about the feeling you get when someone stops you from being yourself. It describes what a negative relationship-friendship situation can be like. Be careful what you ask for!
Lyrics
I can’t breathe on empty
And that is all you're giving me
I can't move if you block me
And I'm losing a sense of integrity

I can't be myself
I can't be all of me
When you're taking chunks out of my side
I can't give all there is to be
If you're right there looking nasty
I can't be myself

I’m riding on the wings of love
I'm riding on the wings of hope
I’m riding on the wings of faith
Come with me

Sitting in a pick up truck
Living off a load of luck
Drinking too much... lemonade

I can't see in front of me
When you're taking truth
And pushing it away
I Can't do all I need to
When you're always putting me down

I can't be...

I'm sailing on the wings of love
I'm sailing on the wings of hope
I'm sailing on the winds of faith
Come with me

I’m sitting on a 1st class train
Up front in the aeroplane
Sitting in a Limousine
I've paid my way

Everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna turn out fine
Everything's gonna be all right
In your heart and mine
