lyrics

I would carry you home / Just to see that you get there safely / What a bitter night to roam / Where have all of the lights gone lately? / And as you dye your best friend’s hair black / I am dying to burden my back / I think I picked the coldest of nights / To freeze my dreams and put up the lights / I would give up my sight / Just to see that my senses are senseless / Would I stay wound up tight / Winding downtown, unworthy, defenseless? / In my heart I am just not a giver / From the start her skin felt like a river / … / I would stay on the line / Hearing audible smiles repeating / But the heart I’ve outgrown / Would have told me that my family’s waiting / And my love is misleading / Have the church of our lady lights faded? / Is immaculacy overrated? / … / 1, 2, 3 / Light the tree! / As a stranger inside / The home where you reside / I am nameless, and bother / Your mother and father.
