From an Admirer Not Darryl

The life in this room could melt the snow outside

If we tried

I thought I found myself a reason to be breathing out here

I thought I had this figured out

But every year the faces changing

Have been estranging me from all

I thought I knew about this town

Drink down your sorrows and regrets

Smoke up the weight of one more year

I'm sick of feeling down and out

When in a way all I ever wanted was a reason

The life in this room could keep us warm all night

The heat's escaping through our hands

And sometimes

It feels like I'm drowning in the half-full half of

A long abandoned half-empty glass

Drink down your sorrows and regrets

Smoke up the weight of one more year

I'm sick of feeling down and out

When in a way all I ever wanted was a reason

To feel like our lives were moving on

Without our feet staying on the run.

To brave the cold for another night

Because you're as cold as it is outside

You talk about next year

Like it will be no different from the last

Fuck that was fast

I live my life in fear of knowing

I could have lived each day a little better

You talk about next year

Like it will be no different from the last

Fuck that was fast

I live my life in fear of knowing

I could have lived each day a little better

But my throat's been getting redder
