Runner Up Lyrics

You asked me to drive you to a psychic

And you seemed pretty scared in the car

But I told you you should try it

I don't even believe in psychics

Every hero needs a sidekick

And I'm happy just playing the part

But you keep sticking the knife in

Every time you bring him up, it's like I'm not enough

Yeah you keep me close

Till you cut me off

Cause you found someone just like me

And I'm still stuck

On the thought of us

Cause we never got the timing

Someone's always got a head start

I just sit and watch from second

I'm driving with the lights off

It hurts but I'll never say it

Almost enough

So close, but so far

If I can't hold you in my arms

Then I'll be a runner up

Now it's become a vicious cycle

You come over at midnight and ask me to put out

The fires you start when they break your heart

And I've been the answer from the start

Yeah you keep me close

Till you cut me off

Cause you found someone just like me

And I'm still stuck

On the thought of us

But I don't really mind it

Someone's always got a head start

I just sit and watch from second

I'm driving with the lights off

It hurts but I'll never say it

Almost enough

So close, but so far

If I can't hold you in my arms

Then I'll be a runner up

Then I'll be a runner up

Almost

Enough

So close

But so far

If I can't hold you in my arms

Then I'll be a runner up
