Beautiful Losers

I knew a guy back then it was rad Then there was nothing left after the snow I was relying on the winds to turn right I could feel in my bones, it would turn to glow I lose everything that I'm trying to keep close Last night I woke up frightened and cold Like some secrets were about to unfold Now I just missed the last train and I'm broke I've been trying so hard that I've drowned I love everything that I know I'll never touch I love everything that I can't have anymore Oh, I thought about you and I found myself back On the outside looking in I dug deep in the tenements, deep in the snow Then I lost myself New York style I could feel in my bones it would stay this way Right in the heart of a Saturday night I'm just working on some stuff that I try to write There was this guy but I got it all wrong There'll be no marching band after I'm gone I love everything that I know I'll never touch How come everything in my hands slips away?
