Cold hands while I drive in silence
The quiet helps me clear my head
I wanna tell her that I miss her
But I’ll just smoke another cigarette
If I left now I could be there by morning
Just spend a night looking through the glass
Don’t ask me why I’m not putting my boots on
I’ve got the 60 dollars for gas
Hours away, but you still run my day, oh
I want her to know but I’m scared to call, it’s a shame
Story of a modern man, young without a plan
So I guess I’ll just wait for another day, when I’m no longer afraid
And I wonder - I wonder if she knows?
And I wonder - I wonder if she’s been where my mind goes?
I wonder - I wonder if she cares?
That I think about her when she’s not here
Thinking about you doesn’t make me sad
And February don’t make me depressed
My rib-cage just feels a bit lonely
And I just want to put my heart at rest
For now it’s cigarettes after dinner
Thoughts of a girl while I’m lying in bed
I wanna tell her that I miss her, but I’ll just fall asleep instead
I hate the way you’ve become
My waking thought and my sleeping dream
And every part of me, you have
You know I’m trying to get rid of your memory
You know you’re stuck onto every part of me
