lyrics

I didn’t want to look outside, I still don’t want to look outside
If no one knows my name. I’d rather look to then decide
If miracles sure do reside inside my hindsight brain.
Sure enough you stopped the snow. Attaboy! What do you know?
I got my wish: A life without a George.
I’m scared to hear the bashful winter, it’s too damn quiet for December
That’s what snow and friends were there for.
Therefore please leave me alone, I’d rather go back home
Than spend the night alone.

What will it take to make this go away, back to the way it was? Come on Angel, what do you say?
Live or die, don’t ask me why but all I want are deep grey eyes.
I just want her back in the end. Just want my girl back by the end of the night.

It’s population: lost and found, I don’t mean a shoe to a soul around, it’s just not Bedford, just not my town.
This is it my brief catharsis. I can’t let down my audience. I had it good, I guess it all makes sense now.
What did it to me was Mary, a ghost played out in a library, but I guess a home for books is still
A home.
Sycamore’s more than enough, I’m sick for home and all my friends, this is it:
I want to live again.
Therefore count me a success, living proof that thoughtfulness
Sometimes is enough
What will it take to make this go away?
Back to the way it was? Angel, what do you say?
Live or die, don’t ask me why,
All I want are deep grey eyes.
Just want her back in the end.
Want my girl back by the end.

Don’t forget to hear
The bells as they ring
As they’re handing out wings
Singing, “Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Come and get them.”
