lyrics

Tell them all that I meant to write
Tell them I stayed up all night
But couldn’t get it right
Still, I tried

Took a walk when the sun came up
Felt the heat through a coffee cup
My eyes were cold and numb
Still, I tried

Walking through these gray days, long days, clear ways past all light

There’s a place where the pavement ends
Before the beach and the pier begin
The trains come screaming in
So, I tried

Tell them all it’s a losers’ game
Kiss me baby, say my name
So I’ll come back again
Or, I’ll try

Do you think this breeze is never ending
Where land and sea conspire to keep me standing
Don’t tell me how the winners will be spending their
Cold, dead nights

Tell them all it’s a losers’ game
Kiss me baby, say my name
So I’ll come back again
Or, I’ll try
