lyrics

i've been holding out for you to really get to know me
before i go and let you down
i've been thinking of the things that i could say to you
if only i knew how
watch me as i ride this bicycle like it's my first time
you can teach me if you really think out loud
the rain that grows inside my soul my ever growing summer cold
wishing the trees would just stop being so proud

all i really know about the winter is that it gets me down
and all those times i carried on thinking i could leave this town
i never meant to hurt you but i did a little bit
do you resent the way that i carried on
and i'm all out of lines for you in all my somber songs
so long lonesome so long

the other side of this city makes my stomach turn
feeling so far out of touch
landlines come crashing down only to make me wonder
how i loved it so much
when you cursed my name through your notebook pages
and stumbled home drunk too late
i never had the courage to let you know i'm broken
or let you know i lost my way

'cause all i really know about this city is that it gets me down
and all those times i carried on thinking i could leave this town
i never meant to hurt you but i did a little bit
do you resent the way that i carried on
and i'm all out of lines for you in all my somber songs
so long lonesome so long
