Run Dry (X Heart X Fingers)

One more shot then I'm quitting forever Cross my heart, cross my fingers Cross my heart, cross my fingers

Woke up this morning, room is spinning I don't remember what I did last night Beg the ceiling for forgiveness 'Cause I don't wanna remember what I did last night

When I was drunk I might have said some things I didn't mean Yeah And there's nothing wrong with you It's something wrong with me

I'm running dry And how oh how come no one believes me? Believe me

Step one: drink Step two: make mistakes Step three: pretend you don't remember Step four: drink a little more Step five: I need to run dry I need to run dry

My liver's killing me But willingly I'm gonna tell whoever asks that I feel alright Beg the ceiling for forgiveness 'Cause I don't wanna remember what I did last night When I was drunk I might have said some things I didn't mean Yeah And there's nothing wrong with you It's something wrong with me Yeah

Step one: drink Step two: make mistakes Step three: pretend you don't remember Step four: drink a little more Step five: I need to run dry I need to run dry

I'm gonna take one more shot Then I'm quitting forever Cross my heart, cross my fingers Cross my heart, cross my fingers

I'm gonna take one more shot Then I'm quitting forever Cross my heart, cross my fingers Cross my heart, cross my fingers

I get drunk a little too much for it to be healthy No one wants to tell me Whiskey, I'm trying to cut-cut-cut back, back Wine, I'm trying to cut-cut-cut back, back

They say everything in moderation But I drink you under the table I'm not just drunk I, I really think I'm in love with you, baby

(Okay, I really am just drunk)

Step one: drink Step two: make mistakes Step three: pretend you don't remember Step four: drink a little more Step five: I need to run dry I need to run dry

I'm gonna take one more shot Then I'm quitting forever Cross my heart, cross my fingers Cross my heart, cross my fingers

I'm gonna take one more shot Then I'm quitting forever Cross my heart, cross my fingers Cross my heart, cross my fingers

(Impress me, good luck) (Impress me, good luck) (Impress me, good luck) (Impress me, good luck)

I'm not from Williamsburg or Silver Lake Does anybody have any other obvious complaints? Stop trying, 'cause I can almost hear you trying to hard, yeah

Just saw a shadow of the freak you're in the night Something on human feet from the seat of the crime Those little flashes just wreak havoc on the mind

I don't have to prove myself to you I don't have to prove myself to you You're standing with your arms crossed Nose turned up like you're saying "impress me" (Good luck) Impress me (Good luck) And I don't have to prove myself to you

They got the search party looking for the ghost of the child But what if it grew up? He didn't die And he's all I want to get the evil(?) little feeling Like you're under dead eyes, yeah

To those who all agree(?), you just might exist But come in in the morning if their misconceptions still persist Some days I may express myself in curious ways

I don't have to prove myself to you And I don't have to prove myself to you You're standing with your arms crossed Nose turned up like you're saying "impress me" (Good luck) Impress me (Good luck) And I don't have to prove myself to you

I don't have to prove myself to you I don't have to prove myself to you You're standing with your arms crossed Nose turned up like you're saying "impress me" (Good luck) Impress me (Good luck) I don't have to prove myself to you

**** Cryptozoology, you just might exist

I looked up the song on youtube and apparently the title of the second part is cryptozoology. :P

this song is great

I think that Run Dry is a about not blindly following something such as religion, or whatever a particular person's religion is. For example, when Patrick says "Beg the ceiling for forgiveness" it could be referring to the fact that you can pray to God as much as you want but it won't change anything you have dome previously. Also, it could mean that you are praying to nothing to the ceiling as there is no God (which would make sense as Patrick is an atheist.) Cryptozoology is all about not having to prove oneself to anybody, much like when in Explode he says "If i'm never your hero, i can never let you down"

Patrick has talked about how right after the hiatus with Fall Out Boy, he had a really bad breakup and went on a month long drinking binge. He was really sad and was going through a lot of tough stuff. He eventually recovered, but this song is about how it felt when he had kind of given up on everything.
