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, but 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 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 now I could be more clever And now 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, but 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 ... (and I know I could be more strong) 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)
