If I keep smoking 
This cold'll never go away 
If I keep talking 
I know you'll never come and stay 

Stand the two up next to the other 
Don't feel strange to me my 
Lover 

All I got here is books and music 
I used to have exercise but I out 
Grew it 

Say I'm going home 
And you go silent 
Never know what to do 
Just say it's cool 
And I'll feel 
O.K. 

I feel cold next to the fire 
It's an old story 
But I think I like it 

All I got here is books and music 
I used to have exercise but I out 
Grew it 

Say I'm going home 
And you go silent 
Never know what to do 
Just say it's cool 
And I'll feel 
O.K. 

I feel cold next to the fire 
It's an old story but I think I like it 
Send your days 
In indecision 
I got a lot of things on my mind this 
Morning
