Wake me now Cause I'm still pressed for time I was always wasted But I always waited You bled me out And left me dry Count your blessings That you made it out of there By the skin of your teeth And half alive And these laments Stay decades behind An August kiss in the rain With postpartum pain It seems I wore my voice out When I wore the words out I used to wear those clothes out Until something tore my heart out So please I still wear my hair down And I'll wear my heart out On the sleeve Of a jacket That my little brother has now Six long weeks Yet I have no time So I'll learn to speak With nothing on my mind But still I see A memory Of the kitchen table And the snow outside A flicker from the street light Who mattered then They never did again But I saw it flicker Just one more time Then you turned on me You turned on a dime It seems I wore my voice out When I wore the words out I used to wear those clothes out Until something tore my heart out So please I still wear my hair down And I'll wear my heart out On the sleeve Of a jacket That my little brother has now And all those December nights (I would feel so sick So sick from the motions) The cold always felt just right The bright future that I believed (I felt so lost In my devotion) Was just a past life daydream And all those December nights The cold always felt just right (But we were young Swallowed and snowed in.) The future that I believed Was just a past life daydream
