I grew up pretending
sticks were little guns
I would point 'em at my dad
And he'd get mad
'Cause God forbid
I hurt someone
I'd hurt anyone I could
Anyone who got too close and
anyone who wouldn't look
I was born into a
one hundred year storm
Foot of ice across Vermont
And in that dark
And in that frost
a heart was formed
Malcontented and unwarm
You were unsuspecting
Not unwarned
That I'm the trouble ahead
That I scream in my sleep
You're puttin' money on red
I'm a sure bet at a losin' streak
I keep showin' you doors
But you can't open them up
'Cause it gets harder to see me
The closer you try to look
I just live here babe
But you're the one who
decided to knock
And you knocked
Have you ever stared
directly at the sun
Have you ever shared some
closeness so exposed
To have it spit back
by someone
So forgive me if I jump
At the rattle of your keys
Oh are you leavin'
No babe I'm just wakin' up
And now what
I'm left starin' at the ceiling
Listing reasons you should
pack all your sh*t up
Yeah I'm the trouble ahead
And I scream in my sleep
You're puttin' money on red
I'm a sure bet at a losin' streak
I keep showin' you doors
But you can't open them up
'Cause it gets harder to see me
The closer you try to look
I just live here babe
But you're the one who
decided to knock
You knocked
I'll be gone so long
before the anger comes
I'll be only what you've
known of me 'til now
Oh how I hope you're
movin' on
'Cause I'm the trouble ahead
And I scream in my sleep
You're puttin' money on red
I'm a sure bet at a losin' streak
I keep showin' you doors
But you can't open them up
'Cause it gets harder to see me
The closer you try to look
I just live here babe
But you're the one
I just live here babe
But you're the one
I just live here babe
But you're the one
