1
I was drunk, I didn't let on
2
As I stood before your door at dawn
3
I guess I might have awaken the dogs
4
Because the shadows started coughing them out
5
So I put my hands into my hair
6
And I pulled and let it hurt
7
There was a light going out somewhere
8
I thought it hear through the wood
9
That held the house together
10
That kept me out here in the cold
11
I knew the sun was going to change the weather
12
But I was looking she never would show
13
I was jamming my hands in my pockets
14
And I was thinking about throwing a stone
15
But if I had the courage I knew that I lost it
16
I was too scared to walk myself home
17
So lit out on a concrete rail
18
And I made my way through the dead park
19
I could still here the cicadas wailing
20
As the morning fog rolled off the dark
21
I had the whole night in my lungs
22
I was breathing so hard and so fast
23
I scored one for the catholic girls
24
And I tried to stuff it all in a box
25
You know the kind that comes with a key
26
You can throw in the lake or bury somewhere
27
I though about the kid you knew before me
28
And how he held onto that lock of your hair
29
He kept it tied up in a sad rubber band
30
In his dresser drawer on the right side
31
Now he walks around with strands of you all over him
32
As if you were still spending the night
33
I was jamming my hands in my pockets
34
I swear I was zero at the bones
35
If I felt my courage making a come back
36
I was drunk, I didn't let on
37
Cause I was doing like my pa had always done
38
I was trying to rise back from the dead
39
Saying all those ghost prayers before the storm
40
Hoping God won't hit me over the head
41
I guess I was out for a revelation
42
I was kicking out agaist the darkness
43
I had dew all over my body
44
From sleeping in a ball under a park bench
45
I was so sure I would never make it
46
I remember like it happened only yesterday
47
I don't know why I'm still holding onto it
48
Don't hearts break nearly every other day
49
When you try to make the sweetness last
50
Cause everything happens so fast
51
And your waiting with half dry eyes
52
For something to fall or something to rise
