Lyrics
I sat alone with my pen in my hand,
with a stain on my palm where the black ink would land
You came along for the ride with my friend,
For something to do, for the boredom to end
You Meant Everything to Me
So we took the month off and we lived in our beds
Stayed up late then slept in, held our fears in our hands
But fear is a drug and it's damn tough to quit,
I got scared of myself and then you jumped right in
So go take a walk on the street by yourself
In the snow that you hate, keep your heart on it's shelf
Don't think of me, think of anything else,
Like your friends or your father and the cabin he built
