lyrics

I got so tired, my fingers are numb
my eyelids they feel heavy
I leave in a week, the boxes aren't packed
don't know if I will ever be ready
it's my own fault I don't get enough sleep
there's enough hours in the day
when I get home, I just wake up again
those hours seem to just run away

so I never write
I never call
I've got too much to say
so I say nothing at all
days turn to weeks
spring turns to fall
if you left me alone
I'd forget I was here at all

the curtains are open, the streetlight's on
it's not quite half past eight
remembered the eat? the laundry's done?
still feels like it's gonna get late
the letters are posted? the bills have been paid?
all that's left to do is wait
but I can't relax when there's nothing to do
the pressure to just do something's too great

so I never write...

it's my own fault I don't get enough sleep
there's enough hours in the day
when i get home, I just wake up again
I stare down those hours and I chase them away

and so I never write.
