the road tonight is cold with ice
and no cars pass by
thank god for no phone call
just snow and a fire

december endings and since you send me things
i just feel for the north
this year took ten years to tell me that im alone again

everythings heres about to break
im one inch from more than i can take
and its beautiful and sad
but its all that i have
so tonight lets stay inside

ill be the husband with a book for a bride
tonight lets stay inside

i could play guitar
ive got so many songs that youve never heard
and they werent about you
and i wont change a word
just because youre gone

the trees creak with their arthritic arms
riddled in their powdered bark
blue moonlight i cant cry right
but i miss you tonight

everything heres about to break
im one inch from more than i can take
and its beautiful and sad
but its all that i have
so tonight i'll stay inside

there are things better id like to try with you
but i stay inside
tonight i stay inside
i could play guitar
