Jimmy’s Lullaby

[Verse 1]
It's getting hard to leave your apartment
The light goes too often and your power is down
It's getting dark and warmth isn't promised
But I'll like you longest when love's not around

[Chorus]
I'm gonna come over
And I'm gonna sit there
And I'm gonna hold you
To me when you cry
I'm gonna love better
And I'm gonna listen
And I'm gonna spend winter home by your side

[Verse 2]
I've spent a life breaking my promises
'Cause the ones that I offered were forced from my hand
I've spent a life practicing caution
And I haven't often changed all my plans

[Chorus]
But you just come over
And I'll watch you sit there
And offer to hold me
To you when I cry
I've learned to love better
Since I've seen you listen
And I'm gonna spend winter home by your side

[Bridge]
I've spent the year counting my losses
Waiting for slip-ups and scolding my skin
I've spent the year counting my downfalls
Saying I called it and calling it quits

[Chorus]
But something is stirring
And something is different
I stood in your kitchen
And I melt down and cry
I think you weep when you find what you're missing
And I'm gonna spend winter home by your side

[Refrain]
It's getting hard to leave your apartment
The light goes too often and your power is down
It's getting dark and warmth isn't promised
But I'll love you longest
