the road tonight is cold with ice
and no cars pass by
thank god for no phonecalls
just snow and a fire

december endings and
since you sent me things
i just feel further north
this year took ten years to
tell me that i'm alone again

everything here's about to break
i'm one inch from more than i can take
and its beautiful and sad but it's
all that i have
so tonight let's stay inside
i'll be the husband with a book for a bride
tonight let's stay inside

i could play guitar

i got so many songs that you never heard
and they weren't about you
i wont change a word
just because you're gone

the trees creek with their arthritic arms
brittle in their powdered bark
blue moonlight i cant cry right
i miss you tonight

everything here's about to break
i'm one inch from more than i can take
and its beautiful and sad but it's
all that i have
so tonight i'll stay inside
there are things that i'd like to try with you but
i'll stay inside
tonight i'll stay inside

i could play guitar
