It Felt Like Glass

Gray day
I guess I shouldn't complain
Things have been fine lately
Get dressed
Take small steps
I'm old enough to know it's circumstance

Gray day
I guess I shouldn't complain
Things have been fine lately
Get dressed
Take small steps
I'm old enough to know it

Been feeling too intense
Bought cigarettes
It felt good just to leave the bedroom
Feigning distance
Stuck in my head
Inside a room full of friends

Long drive, I'm tired
Snow falls in little mountains on top of the window
And it felt like glass
Safe and smooth til she left
She said she couldn't keep me warm forever

Long drive, I'm tired
I'm trying hard to keep my eyes on the yellow line
And it felt like glass
Safe and secure til she left
And now I'm here picking up the pieces

Drive slow, eyes on the road
My friends have shown me so much love through presence
My friends have shown me so much

I don't believe in any god or cosmic fate
But the people I love make a damn good case
I don't believe in the holy men, the protestants
But I swear there's something sacred here
Mounds of meaning lingering in all of this

Worried sick about my parent's death
Mom's voicemail made me cry again
I think of her voice will sound when
I can hardly bear to say it

I know it's coming soon
She'll be leaving soon

Mounting pressure of moments trying to connect
You're getting lost, checking out just thinking of it
Slow me down
Remind me how it feels to be there

I don't believe in any god or cosmic fate
But the people I love make a damn good case
I don't believe in the holy men, the protestants
But I swear there's something sacred here
Mounds of meaning lingering in all of this

Always try to cling to whatever it is that's most important to you
Always give your full attention to
All the people you love and what it is that matters

Always try to cling to whatever it is that's most important to you
Always give your full attention to
All the people you love and what it is that matters
