I spent all of christmas eve fake angry at you for
Who knows what or then and you spoke so fast
I just sat back relaxed and took you all in


I spent all of christmas eve trying to get warmer
After standing outside for hours knowing at this point

Id be lucky to get any sleep

And ill toss and turn until the early morning

Happily ignoring that my blue jeans
Didnt do a $#&@ing thing for me
Against this cold


Sober or not i locked everything you sent me
Cause whats better than seeing

What im missing daily
I guess what im trying to say is that


You might run but i wont hide
Shed an ounce of light
On my half-hopeless life

Dont let me go back

And though id like to say more

I guess ill just duck in cover
Almost praying that you trip over
The cluster of words i laid out before having to leave


But since youve taken the time to read so carefully
Everything ive ever sent

I guess ill spend the few lines
Hoping and wishing
Yet thanking appropriately


You might run but i wont hide
Shed an ounce of light

On my half-hopeless life
Dont let me go back


To erin: please read later
Cause i dont think i have the heart
To let you read this now

But if i had the heart
You know that i know better
This isnt how you say aloud


oedont let me go back
