Lyrics

I didn't go to Washington, instead I swept the floor The only things I've ever done you can't see anymore I knew there would be magic but I turned down the last chance These idle hands are staying scared of making any plans 'Cause the fire needed tending and the windows are so wide Sometimes I feel I'm in the world when I'm looking from inside I will pack down the snow, make a path to the road And I'll think of the long ride I hope you don't need snow tires through the Pennsylvania night 'Cause I didn't go, I said no, I said no when you asked Now the only things I'm feeling are the empty minutes pass The sun came up and moved around, it's down behind a cloud I didn't go to Washington and you'll be almost there by now
