The Usual Things - Christmas Lights lyrics

She's got christmas lights in her room All year 'round It keeps everything soft around the edges As she lays inside the darkness And a comforter that smells just like dog Sweet but overwhelming Something you love but could grow to hate Something just like me Everything is everywhere Everything's a mess Just like I left it Just like you and me You think of all the things you could have said You think of all the things you said instead When you're living inside your head And you don't even know how you really feel And you don't know if this love is real Or if it's a fleeting thing It's writing a song About the wrong girl When she calls your name It ruins your world I didn't do it willfully I wasn't calm It wasn't exacting But I knew it was wrong An incinerator A great house fire You tell me the truth but I'm a f**ing liar I watched it crumble as you turned to dust I watched you trust me as I turned to lust And you just wanted what you couldn't touch The only thing she did was love too much And you'll never see her again And you just had to see about a girl How can you know if you never roam if you were really home? And now you'll never really be home I hope someday she'll be happy Perhaps someday she'll continue to love me Find someone that's good enough Somehow find someone to trust
