Lyrics My Neigborhood - The New Year

My Neigborhood

I pulled my socks
Up to my neck
I’ve never been so cold in my life
With my hands
beginning to ache
I started my way down the street
Houses that once looked inviting
Now tempt me to know what they’re hiding
The majestic
The domestic
All their windows are closed
Where can I go
So I won’t lose
Who I should be
Don’t say whoever I choose
Now I feel like a murderer
But I don’t know who I’ve killed
This is my neighborhood
Where no one’s seen me before
But I’m still young
Or I think I am
Then why this bitter response
To my face
To my stare
The way that I show with a smile
That I just don’t care
I saw the headlights coming
But I didn’t change my course
I had the feeling I’ve had all along
That I can’t surprise myself
What could I say
In front of that light
I moved away I guess
I won’t tonight
