Even Robots Need Blankets

It happens every time

If it counts, I'll lose my courage when I need it the most

Then it comes crawling up after

Begs me to ask her what I already know

Singing, "Oh, love, get me out of the cold."

If I promise that I'd take you there with me

Would you go?

I found, in one step, I'll get closer to heaven than you'll ever know

You may never know

Feel it out again

Go and try to be your man when there's a gun to your head

After you've found out your "good enough" wasn't good enough for everyone else

Singing, "Oh, love, get me out of the cold,"

Pull me right up by your fire and I'll show you what home means now

The words came with a new kind of sadness

They meant everything, you mean everything to me

I'll take the first train out of this town

With a glare in my eye and my pockets full, ready to die

And when I get hazy, I will think, just maybe, you're out there somewhere

Singing, "Oh, love, get me out of the cold."

If I promise that I'd take you there with me

Would you go?

I found, in one step, I'll get closer to heaven than you'll ever know

You may never know

Singing, "Oh, love, get me out of the cold,"

Pull me right up by your fire, and I'll show you what home means now

The words came with a new kind of sadness

They meant everything, you mean everything to me.
