I wanna be the coat that keeps you safe from the cold
when you shiver like snow wraps around you in loads
and you talk to yourself just to feel less alone
while you walk yourself down such a dark winded road
with that feeling you get someone’s walking you home
someone that you can’t see and hardly even know, like a ghost
I wanna open my arms and let you in like a song,
to this place where I come from
and under this particular bulb that sheds light on my life
you will know the good I’ve done
and I hope you’re aware I hold all your words close
like a book that gives hope, one with wisdom so old
If Jesus can walk on water honey I can at least float
so give me a chance because I gave you my hope
You take what you can get but when you give up your soul
to a girl that you love, that’s a debt far past broke
that you gamble and pray you win cause if you don’t
you’ll be so far past ruined dying painfully slow
I wanna open my arms and let you in like a song,
to this place where I come from
and under this particular bulb that sheds light on my life
you will know the wrong I’ve done
you will learn who I am cause you’re the exception
no I normally don’t let girls in
I just stare at the sky while they guess what my mind
is made up of at the time,
and it feels sort of nice to spot wandering eyes
and know they’ll wonder their whole life..
