A bright light woke me up at two a.m
Because I fell asleep talking to you again
And I am chasing circles in my head
Alarmed, alone, anxious, and afraid
I’m thinking:
“why is it that I’ve got to fall in love with anyone that gives me any little bit of attention?“
And I know all the reasons
But they’d be so scary to mention
So, some nights I stay up and I get angry
But these days I’m so tired
So, now it hardly ever happens
And I remember I was cold one night on upper burnside
But I thought about how warm you were
So it wouldn’t really matter anyhow
How~
You gave a most tremendous shout
How~
And when the planets and the stars came out
How~
Well it really kind of freaks me out
And it’s hard for me to think it’s not so pointless
To go to work and go to sleep and wake back up because all these stupid dreams
Keep me awake
So, I just sing my sad songs and read my sad comic books and cry
Out of the saddest eyes I’ve got
Every once in a while from on top of my ten speed I feel happy, but that doesn’t happen a lot
And I know I’ll feel better in a couple of weeks
But until then I guess it’s just you and me:
Just a couple of kooks wearing Doc Marten boots drinking beer on the side of the street
And I remember I was cold one night on upper burnside, but I thought about how warm you were
So it wouldn’t really matter anyhow
How~
You gave a most tremendous shout
How~
And when the planets and the stars came out
How~
Well it really kind of freaks me out
