Head out through the basement door
4:16 in the morning
Can't sleep and I haven't slept in days
So I decide to be awake
I know I said I'd run
But my legs won't carry me
I stare up at Christmas lights and I
Drag my shoes down your street
And I jump in your car
Just like the old days
And I ask how you are
You smile in that same old way
And say "well boy did I miss you"
Now at some point you said
You'd get a tattoo of my name
To remember me by and
I said I'd do the same
But that was this morning
In-between Newports
Now I'm leaving town again
I'm at the airport
And I tried to call you
Tried to say what I should've said
But there's no use
I'll kiss the coat you left with me instead
Without you here I'm sure I'll
Fade away
I never even wanted you in the first place
And I'm still cold
Wearing your coat
