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, thinking 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 up 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 I know I could be more clever
And I know 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, thinking 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 I was
(And I know I could be more strong)
Just 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)

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
