Our conversation's're like a broken record
Same few basic topics, same few basic answers
And I can't hear the game over all of this
What-if's and why-not's and why-don't-I-just-leave's
Snowstorm like static in the background
Knocking out the heater; won't do it's job now
At least tonight I won't hear the wolves howl
At least tonight I won't hear
[instrumental]
And I still have the wolf
I was going to give you
It sits on my shelf
It sleeps in my bedroom
And I'm still cold
And I'm still caught up in nonsense
People don't care for what I have to say
And I guess that it makes sense
And I still have the wolf
It growls at me
It's eyes are like razors poking my skin
Until I get up and do something

I'm in the backseat of your car
So your friends can avoid me, and I can
Avoid them
"Thanks for the ride!
Now you can go off and ditch me
And come back and fetch me
When you're done...
'Cause I'm always done"
I feel like the trashcan that Brenton left back in Tennessee
'Cause looking around I'm the only ten I don't see
And when I try my hardest to be happy
You'll remind me that I'll never, no, YOU'LL never be
[instrumental]
And when it's time to leave
I'll say goodbye to the friends I have made
Out of the walls and the carpets
In the corner of the place
That I have been so
Fortunate to make
'Cause they don't care about me
As much as I do
And they care about me
More than you ever will

I stalled forever
Just to see your smile
So when I went home
I wouldn't be a mess
But there's only so
Many excuses
For staring at an
Empty baseball field
OK, what ever happened to me?
(I don't see where I went wrong)
Look down, look down, look down, and you'll see
(My feet aren't where they belong)
OK, what ever happened to me?
(I don't see where I went wrong)
Look down, look down, look down, and you'll see
(My feet aren't where they belong)
I stalled forever
Just to see your hand
Get held by a guy
That I've never seen
But there's only so
Many excuses
Why that should not be
Why shouldn't that be me
OK, what ever happened to me?
(I don't see where I went wrong)
Look down, look down, look down, and you'll see
(My feet aren't where they belong)

Do you remember how we locked eyes
The first time we met in class
Well I remember it all too well
My God-given heart never beat so fast
And one day you'll be painted in pictures
And words that mean the world to you
And one day I'll be painted in place
Letting the world roll on, while I make do
Well I try to rest my head
On the pillow on my bed
But I can't sleep
'Cause I just dream
Of every word you said
To me
And one day you'll be painted in pictures
And words that mean the world to you
And one day I'll be painted in place
Letting the world roll on, while I make do
Soon I will leave forever
This will be the last time we see each other
Separated by highways
Braided like your hair across flyover states
I promise that I'll be back
If you want me there
I promise that I'll be back
If you want me there
And one day you'll be painted in pictures
And words that mean the world to you
And one day I'll be painted in place
Letting the world roll on, while I make do
