5,771 It's been two and one quarter weeks Since the week I was first gone It's not that long It's not that long And when I get to you Make everything alright Don't want to have to fight to hold you late at night But I just might Now the voices in my head are loud I've said too much Can't face this crowd I cannot put the words back in my mouth How I hoped that you would understand When it comes from you It's twice as bad You're the worst I ever had Got the worst I ever had out of me Out of me Out of me Nothing to eat So- Happy new year, Washington I never learned to hold my tongue I wish I could I would play dumb with you And all these nights I've spent alone in front of you I should have known the things we pay To get back what we own 5,772 It will be at least another week Until I make it back to you And if I do If I do We can fashion a rope From all of my regrets How I saw you in every person that I met I'll let you tie me to the bed To the bed ‘cause I'm not as strong As I am scared I'll sit for you in the wooden chair You don't have to hold me down I'll help you cut my hair myself Out of you Out of you There's nothing sweet Happy new year, Washington I never learned to hold my tongue I wish I had I would play dumb I would All these nights you've spent alone in front of me I wish I'd known the things we give To pay back what we owe A Folsom man with just one fear I don't want to die with no one knowing I was here I still hear that in my ears I still hear that in my ears So Ma**achusetts And then New York It's gonna take a little work To get back to the place I was before 5,773 Finally out of the eater You got something you could eat and was it me? Tie me to the rock Tie me to the rock See What I've Got Happy new year Washington I never learned To hold my tongue I tried So hard But now I'm done With it
