Hours Outside in the Snow

Lyrics

[Intro] I spent all of Christmas Eve fake angry at you for Who knows what now or then And you spoke so fast I just sat back Relaxed and took you all in [Verse 1] I spent all of Christmas Eve trying to get warmer After standing outside for hours Knowing at this point I'd be Lucky to get any sleep And I'll toss and turn until the early morning Happily ignoring That my blue jeans didn't do A fuckin' thing for me against this cold Sober or not, I locked everything you sent me 'Cause what's better than seeing What I'm missing daily? I guess what I'm trying to say is that [Chorus] You might run, oh but I won't hide, shed an Ounce of light on my half- Hopeless life "Don't let me go back" [Verse 2] And though I'd like to say more I guess, I'll just duck and cover Almost praying that you trip over The cluster of words I laid out before having to leave But since you've taken the time to read so carefully Everything I've ever sent I guess I'll spend the next few lines hoping and wishing Yet thanking appropriately [Chorus] You might run, oh but I won't hide, shed an Ounce of light on my half- Hopeless life You might run, oh but I won't hide, shed an Ounce of light on my half- Hopeless life [Outro] To Erin Please read later 'Cause I don't think I have the heart To let you read this now But if I had the heart, oh You know that I know better This isn't how you say aloud Oh, say aloud To Erin (You might run, oh but) Please read later (I won't hide, shed an) 'Cause I don't think I have the heart (Ounce of light on my half-) To let you read this now (Hopeless life) But if I had the heart, oh (You might run, oh but) You know that I know better (I won't hide, shed an) This isn't how you say aloud (Ounce of light on my half-) Oh, say aloud: (Hopeless life) "Don't let me go back" [Voicemail greeting] "Hey, it's Erin, I'm not here, but leave me a message and I'll call you back. Bye." "At the tone, please record your message. When you've finished recording, please hang up or press '1' for more options. To leave a callback number, press '5'." [Tone]
