Good Sad Story

Something about other people's houses
When I look through their windows at night
They've got everything figured out
No worries it's all peace and quiet

Anyway that's how it see it
Here I am on the sidewalk freezing to death
Wishing we never moved here after all

I miss my hometown
My heart stayed my body left
I'm still here by the pond
My hair grows long
But I stay the same
And I know the outline
Of every tree in the forest
And on the other side
Of the river the longing runs
Deep in my veins
Deep in my veins
Deep in my veins

Today someone in the street smiled
At me and I almost cried
Middle of the night I'm awake and it seems
That's when I do all my worst thinking

Nightmares come alive when I can't sleep
And though I do love a good sad story
I wish I never moved here after all

I miss my hometown
My heart stayed my body left
I'm still here by the pond
I lied when I said I love best
The city nights
And I know the outline
Of every tree in the forest
And on the other side
Of the river the longing runs
Deep in my veins
Deep in my veins
Deep in my veins
Deep in my veins
