So many things that I wish I could be
When you needed
So many things that I wish I could say
And mean it
Like, “We don’t talk anymore,
not even when I’m drinking
I don’t smoke anymore,
not even when I’m drinking”
But I come home at 3 a.m.
And you smell it on me again
You wonder if you’d rather be
a happy or a lonely man
(x2)
So many things I could give
I don’t have
So many ways that I chose to live
I’d take back
But I don’t wish I didn’t love her lies
Not even when I’m drinking
I don’t want another try
Not even when I’m drinking
But I come home at 3 a.m.
And you smell it on me again
You wonder if you’d rather be
a happy or a lonely man
(x2)
Just say the words to free me
You know that it kills me when you don’t need me
Just go and leave the light on
Soon you’ll have another girl to set your sights on
Tonight the moon is waning
Soon you’ll have another girl to bury your pain in
I loved you like no tomorrow
There’s an ocean ever big enough
To drown your sorrow
So many things that I wish I could be
When you needed
So many things that I wish I could say
And mean it like,
“We don’t talk anymore,
not even when I’m drinking
I don’t smoke anymore,
not even when I’m drinking”
But I come home at 3 a.m.
And you smell it on me again
You wonder if you’d rather be
a happy or a lonely man
(x2)
I wasn’t ready either
Maybe someday we’ll again in the ether
Maybe another lifetime
One a little easier than slow climb
Maybe next time you’ll bleed like I do
Lose the feeling in my fingers when I miss you
Maybe next time you’ll remember this feeling
Losing me for loving you when you wouldn’t believe it

Gorgeous and moving, this album fills a musical void in my collection that I didn't know existed. With lyrics that speak about the human condition and instrumentals that have a medieval flair, this has become my new musical addiction 😁 Not a single note is wasted here 9RnK7
