Tired Lyrics

Eighteen

Packing up, and

Heading home, cause

Maybe

They'll take you back

One at a time

But I know

You don't wanna go home at all

And lately

You have no one

You've given up, you're

Hiding

Inside your clothes

Inside your room

Because

You're burning through the walls

And lightly

Are the steps I take

Up to your room

Cause you said

Your parents don't want any boys home

So we sneak out

The window of

Your lovely room

It's too high

It's three stories tall but I don't mind

I'd catch you if I needed to in time

Cause you said

You needed company

And you said that

Company be me

But every time I try

The sun sets on my ass

And you saw

The prettiest light of all

And you tried

To show me in the dirt mess of it all

I'm tired of saying

I don't like

When you smoke

And I'm tired of saying

I hate it

When you love

And harshly

Are the words I say

To my dad

When he's drunk

He doesn't do

Anything right in my eyes

But "Love me"

Are the words I say

To my mom

When she's home

She loves me but she won't show me

But she loves me completely

Cause you said

You needed company

And you said that

Company be me

But every time I try

The sun sets on my ass

And you saw

The prettiest light of all

And you tried

To show me in the dirt mess of it all

I'm tired of saying

I don't like

When you smoke

And I'm tired of saying

I hate it

When you

Love

It's getting late

It's midnight I believe

Your father

Your mother warned us too

Don't stay up too late

That's what we will say

In twenty-forty years time

To all the kids

Around the block at night

When they're too

Tired to know which ways home

When they're too

Tired to go home at all

When they're too

Tired to know which ways up

They'll be too

Tired to know which ways up
