i set all my regrets on fire
cause i know i'll never take the time
to unpack my missteps and call all of our friends
i figure they would take your side

i make the bed, just not that well
your name comes up a lot
when i talk to my mom
oh, i think she can tell

i was out on the town
so i came to your window last night
i tried not to throw stones
but i wanted to come inside
now i'm causing a scene, thinking you need a reason to smile
oh no, what have i done?
there's no one to keep me warm

so maybe i should put up a fight
i'll call them back and borrow a box knife
so i can learn to live with all the stupid shit
i've been doing since '99

and i know i could be more clever
and i know i could be more strong
but i'm waiting for the day you come back and say
"hey, maybe i should change my mind"

i drink a lot
i'm not sure if that's new
but these days when i wake up from a night i forgot
i just wish that it never came true

i was out on the town
so i came to your window last night
i tried not to throw stones
but i wanted to come inside
now i'm causing a scene, thinking you need a reason to smile
oh no, what have i done?
there's no one to keep me warm

and i know i could be more clever
and i know i could be more strong
and i know i could be more clever
and i know i could be more clever

i knew there would come a day when all was said and done
(and i know i could be more clever)
everything i was is everything but gone
(and i know i could be more strong)
all my big mistakes are bouncing off your wall
(and i know i could be more clever)
the bottles never break, the sorrow never comes
(and i know i could be more clever)
so come on let me in, i will be the sun
(and i know i could be more clever)
i will wake you up, i am who i was
(and i know i could be more strong)
just open up your heart, open up your heart, open up your heart
(and i know i could be more clever
and i know i could be more)

i was out on the town
so i came to your window last night
i tried not to throw stones
but i wanted to come inside
now i'm causing a scene, but you need a reason to smile
oh no, what have i done?
there's no one to keep me warm
