Текст песни
I spent all of Christmas Eve fake-angry at you for
Who knows what now 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, I'd be lucky to get any sleep
And I'll toss and turn until the early morning
Happily ignoring that my blue jeans
Didn't do a fucking thing for me
Against this cold
Sober or not, I locked everything you sent me
'Cause what's better than seeing what I'm missing daily
I guess what I'm trying to say is that
You might run, but I won't hide
Shed an ounce of light
On my half-hopeless life
(Don't let me go back)
And though I'd like to say more
I guess I'll just duck in cover
Almost praying that you trip over
The cluster of words I laid out before having to leave
But since you've taken the time to read so carefully
Everything I've ever sent
I guess I'll spend the few lines
Hoping and wishing
Yet, thanking appropriately
You might run, but I won't hide
Shed an ounce of light
On my half-hopeless life
You might run, but I won't hide
Shed an ounce of light
On my half-hopeless life
To Erin, please read later
'Cause I don't think I have the heart
To let you read this now
But if I had the heart, you
You know that I know better
This isn't how you say aloud, oh, say aloud
To Erin (you might run, oh but)
Please read later (I won't hide, shed an)
'Cause I don't think I have the heart (ounce of light)
To let you read this now (on my half-hopeless life)
But if I had the heart, oh (you might run, oh but)
You know that I know better (I won't hide, shed an)
This isn't how you say aloud (ounce of light)
Oh, say aloud (on my half-hopeless life)
