lyrics

Your fingers slip as you button your coat
It hangs loose off your thinning frame
These winters feel much cooler
Than they used to be
You wake to voicemails of your missed plans
And have fresh cuts all up your hands
That you don't notice 'till you're in the shower
And they burn from all that hot water

You're in bed all day
And let the hours die away
Your veins look as white as your lips
And you can't remember when anything felt okay

But do things get real outside your window
Do things get real outside your window

You count the steps on your way to class
And get high behind the bleachers
You watch the track stars run their laps
And you pretend you are the same

You lie awake all night
And let the moments fade away
Red-eyed photographs are all you see
And you think that things will never change

But do things get real outside your window
Do things get real outside your window
