Modern Baseball - Hours Outside in the Snow

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 fuckin' 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, oh 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 and 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 next few lines hoping and wishing
Yet thanking appropriately

You might run, oh but
I won't hide, shed an
Ounce of light on my half-
Hopeless life
You might run, oh 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, oh
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 on my half-)
To let you read this now
(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 on my half-)
Oh, say aloud:
(Hopeless life)
"Don't let me go back"
