78

(album: Skeptic - 2021)

I said I'll take the long way home
It's not an issue with my heart it's just the aching in my bones
I said I'll take the long way home
It's only ten o'clock at night and if there's trouble I can call your phone
But I won't

I'm alright
I'm alright now

And I can see the storm clouds grow
I drive a mile down the street and see the blizzard warnings glow
The sky begins to pour down snow
And I think back to your expression when you said you'd never let me go
But you did

It's coming down like it's '78 in Massachusetts
I see the circle I'm praying that I don't crash into it
If Watch the World wasn't playing I wouldn't be asking you to stay
My head was reckless
You turned me into a skeptic
I get defensive like you wouldn't believe
You should be careful throwing punches with your heart on your sleeve
It's coming down like it's '78 in Boston again
I'm lost in my head
I think I'll call her again

I'm alright
I'm alright now

We cut ties
It's probably for the better
Every time it's snowing out I feel a sense of dread inside
I can't hide
You'll be with me forever
I learned to brace for bad news with the overcast
We cut ties
It's probably for the better
Every time it's snowing out I feel a sense of dread inside
I can't hide
You'll be with me forever
I learned to brace for bad news with the overcast

It's coming down like it's '78 in Massachusetts
I see the circle I'm praying that I don't crash into it
If Watch the World wasn't playing I wouldn't be asking you to stay
My head was reckless
You turned me into a skeptic
I get defensive like you wouldn't believe
You should be careful throwing punches with your heart on your sleeve
It's coming down like it's '78 in Boston again
I'm lost in my head
I think I'll call her again

We cut ties (I'm alright)
It's probably for the better (I'm alright)
Every time it's snowing out (I'm alright)
I feel a sense of dread inside (I'm alright now)
I can't hide (I'm alright)
You'll be with me forever (I'm alright)
I learned to brace for bad news (I'm alright)
With the overcast (I'm alright)
