lyrics

I crawl in through the window
Because there's no one home to call to unlock the door
and there's no one here to talk to
I lay on the floor

until it’s Christmas Eve
and I wake up in a sweat
I had a nightmare I was burning
for all the lies that I've said

and then I'm at work
and I clock in too late
I try to keep my eyes open
I try to relate

I need to keep smiling
but I'm mad all the time
and I can't shake the feeling
that this is the rest of my life

I just wanted to write love songs
until I got old
but I am not brave enough for the stage
and I ain't brave enough for the road

Who am I gonna be now?
once they stop coming to shows?
will I still want to play the guitar
when I've tried every note

I drive home at 10:30
soaked and cold and still poor
I crawl in through the window again
I cant help but wish for more

so I could be the person
you see when you look at me
I wanna give you all i have
I wanna give you everything

but my shoes are all wet
and I'm five foot five
I wipe the snot from my nose again
I feel so small and so small and so small and so small

If I could reach through existence
and write down its words
could I erase all the failure
could I eat all the hurt

could I embrace all my fears now
could I build a new me from clay
someone made for perfection
someone who can relate

I crawl in through the window
There's no one home to call to unlock the door
There's no one here at all
What's all of this for?

and its the day after Christmas
lookin' at pictures in the dark
I text you happy birthday
because you fill up my heart
