Vermont

They said the aren't surprised
But neither are you or I
I guess that's the worst part
You told me never again
You said goodnight at 10pm
So how did we lose count
Have I said I'm sorry enough times
And if you walk away will you be fine

Cuz I'll be headed downtown
Sponge off of somebody
Get a couple dollars
And I'll wait outside of the package store
Talking like I'm bout to
Get on with somebody
But I won't go inside this time
I just want you to know what's my mind tonight
Well mama looks at my life
Shakes her head and she sighs
It looks like Vermont out here

I look down at my hand
I don't suppose I had a plan
When I picked up this stone
And I can break my bones
But words go right for my soul
They burn down cathedrals
You say I'm dramatic all the time
And I exaggerate but I'll be fine

So I'll be headed downtown
Sponge off of somebody
Get a couple dollars
Then I'm getting a ticket out of here
It's balmy in Bermuda
Heard it's cold in Utah
Guess I'll just have to stay behind
Oh I want you to have what's on my mind tonight
Oh mama looks at my life
Shakes her head and she sighs
It looks like Vermont out here

And you can keep it if you want it
All the things you have to hide
Cuz after all, your going your way, I'll go mine
And I'll forgive but can't forget it
It runs circles in my mind
But you love circles, you cut corners all the time

Oh I'll be headed downtown
Sponge off of somebody
Get a couple boxes
And I'll fill them with letters I wrote for you
Sell them in a tag sale
Shrug it off and inhale
Breathing's a good way to stay alive
It's alright, we already know that we've won life's great prize
So when I look at my life
I can't help it, I smile
It looks like Vermont out here
