Verse 1

(a capella)

Damn, these cold nights do me in

when I've had a long, long day.

't starts around seven, and by ten I'm climbing the walls,

thinking maybe I should call.

x2

Verse 2

 It's just this damn anxiety that toys with my sobriety

 into thinking there's something to say

 when what's left to say

 it's all been said anyway.

Chorus

we staid up till early morning and you walked out my door

 and it felt like i was stalling with all my words on the floor

 should have walked you home one last time

 instead of going to bed.

Verse 3

and now it should be easy for me

 to let someone new into my bed I think

 so I, I go out to save aye aye, I go out and I drink.

Bridge 1

 but the smoky bars are never too kind,

never too late to remind

just how I still think about you

Chorus

we staid up till early morning and you walked out my door

 and it felt like i was stalling with all my words on the floor

Bridge 2

please come touch my skin

 with a hand of grace

 take away all that i have to face

 and tell that lie that can make this whole year fly by, fly by.

Chorus

 we'll stay up till early morning and you wont walk out my door.

 and it wont feel like I'm stalling with all my words on the floor

 we'll stay up till early morning and you wont walk out my door.

 and it wont feel like I'm stalling with all my words on the floor

 and i walk you home, one last time instead of going to bed.

 damn these cold nights, that keep doing me in
