lyrics

Warm breath and clean hands
Walking dizzy like an old man
Heart run down by 'how longs',
Too much coffee, and sad songs
Taking breaths and a step back
Keep my lungs intact

I'll just try to hold on to what makes me feel comfortable
Big sweaters and cups of green tea
All we can ever do is try to make ourselves comfortable
I'll hold you, I hope you hold on

Searching my real self
Paying attention to my health
Spending money on cheap beer
Thinking 'bout cutting off my ear
If I was trying to slip back
I would be on the right track

I'll just try to hold on to what makes me feel comfortable
Big sweaters and cups of green tea

And a letter from home in my mother's handwriting

All we can ever do is try to make ourselves comfortable
I'll hold you, I hope you hold on

So I'll try to hold on to what makes me feel comfortable
Big sweaters and cups of green tea
And a letter from home in my mother's handwriting
And your grandfather's voice on an old tape recording
And a movie on TV that came out when you were happier
And the feeling that tomorrow's gonna make everything better...

All we can ever do is try to make ourselves comfortable
I'll hold you, I hope you hold on to me.
