lyrics

I’ll learn again how to say one more whiskey
how to lose one more friend in the end
I’ll learn again not to wrap my head around it
pretend I never found it here to begin with

oh my, I’m a rolling stone
and I’ll be rolling away till the day you call me in
won’t you call me in?

I get a feeling overwhelmed by regret
where I’ve been, who I’ve met; can’t ignore it
then I look down and I accept all this mess
do I dare to confess I adored it?

now there’s a winding sound in my ears
with the windows down, our heads leaning out
can you feel that?
we can hardly speak, so we find no need
just increase the speed
can you feel that?

cold, dark, lonely road
it’s been narrowing in since the day I told myself
no one else could help

I get a feeling overwhelmed by regret
where I’ve been, who I’ve met; can’t ignore it
then I look down, and I accept all this mess
do I dare to confess, I adored it?
and I look down- it’s all around
subtleties I'm ignoring

why don’t we celebrate this cold time in hell?

maybe I'm not the man that you think
buried thoughts under drink
through the night till that light comes creeping in
hide the soul, I don’t want you to know
so I make it, I can make it

I get a feeling overwhelmed by regret
where I’ve been, who I’ve met; can’t ignore it
then I look down, it’s all around
subtleties I'm ignoring
