Hey small town, how's it going?
Six feet under, I think that it's snowing
I tell myself, "I guess that's why you're late"
The street's bright, everybody's dreaming
Trick of the light when I thought you might need me
Baby, I thought you said you'd never make me wait
I'm all tied up, lost in your downfall
Wide-eyed roses will melt in this snowstorm
Still, they'll sit on my bedroom table
until there's nothing left
It's so dark
I can taste this old school romance of leaving me down
You know, I thought you were better than that, woah

And everybody else was lighting up and falling fast
You gave me storms and perfect nothings
that don't ever seem to last


I'm alone again and it's too cold
Can I go now? Can I go now?
'Cause if I wait any longer, I'll never go home
I'll be flat-out broke down, fall from the sky
'Cause I, I'll be waiting by the lights for you
Last night, when you promised that you'd be home soon

Hey city, how come you're never sleeping?
Me either, it's just you and me this evening
This time I don't think he'll be coming home
But I'll have faith
I'll breathe letters on the window
Spelling out our names with all the things I never said, oh
One wish, one chance, I'd wish for you to know that


I could see it in your eyes as you watched me run away
Scarlet letters left behind
But I can't wait for you again

Oh, I'm alone again and it's too cold
Can I go now? Can I go now?
'Cause if I wait any longer, I'll never go home
I'll be flat-out broke down, fall from the sky
'Cause I, I'll be waiting by the lights for you
Last night, when you promised that you'd be home soon
Said you'd be home soon

And woah, we're just so young, don't know the best of it
But woah, time's getting on, I'm sick of wasting it
'Cause we're running circles, counting sheep
This love's too dark and I can't sleep
Oh, I'm dreaming pretty, but you're not even in it
And it's cold out there and my heart breaks flat
'Cause it's so romantic falling down like that
And I'm alone again, but it's not so bad
Guess we all have things we wanna take back
We're reckless and breathless and we're ready to go
So I'll meet you at the door with a dress made of snow
And I'll be young and afraid
and I won't miss you again and again

I'm alone again and it's too cold
'Cause if I wait any longer I'll never go home
'Cause I, I'll be waiting by the lights for you
Last night, when you promised that you'd be home soon
Said you'd be home soon
Hope you get home soon
