| The sun is coming up in the Monday sky
|
| And I could toss and turn until these sheets caught fire
|
| It’s an eight-semester game of chance
|
| In this lonely room with these empty hands;
|
| Eight AM is the last thing on my mind
|
| But I, I can count the ways
|
| We let the minutes slip from our hands
|
| In this dorm room dance of days
|
| And I, I think it’s safe to say
|
| That we let the good days get away
|
| Where were your arms when the wind was so cold?
|
| Where were your hands when the time was so hard to hold?
|
| I’m coming undone thirty-five miles from home
|
| On this winter-campus wasteland all alone
|
| Hum the bars to the saddest songs
|
| Look in the mirror and wonder what went wrong
|
| The handsome kid the pictures show is gone
|
| Now Willimantic’s got her cold teeth in me
|
| Sucking dry the dude I used to be back then
|
| I know the rules; |
| I set the trap that snared me
|
| I failed the test of time and time again
|
| Where were your arms when the wind was so cold?
|
| Where were your hands when the time was so hard to hold?
|
| I’m coming undone thirty-five miles from home
|
| On this winter-campus wasteland all alone
|
| And I, I can’t count the ways
|
| That we let the good days get away
|
| Where were your arms when the wind was so cold?
|
| Where were your hands when the time was so hard to hold?
|
| Where were your arms when the wind was so cold?
|
| Where were your arms when the wind was so cold?
|
| Where were your hands when the time was so hard to hold?
|
| I’m coming undone thirty-five miles from home
|
| On this winter-campus wasteland
|
| On this winter-campus wasteland all alone |
