[Verse 1] So save all of your light For those who can't sleep at night And they can't even sing to their shadows Oh, they ride into town And they throw the shots down And they save the last round for the windows Singing [Chorus] Don't let me into this year With an empty heart With an empty heart Don't let me into this year With an empty heart [Verse 2] I'm inside with my friends We build fires and pretend
That the night could just bend on forever While outside in the frost Are the wolves and the lost And we sing "To the Dogs or Whoever" Singing [Chorus] [Verse 3] There's a friend that I have And for her I'll go back You see all of these empties that I'm holding They're too much for a man Empty arms, empty hands And she'll know me by the sound of my hoping Singing [Chorus, 7x]
