lyrics

I think we could be made of stained glass with colors that don’t crack
But you could do a little bit better yeah at reminding me that
I’m the one who ties us together with ribbons
And you know it’s true - you do
And in the Idaho snow I felt my eyes glow
In a basement full of smoke I held tight to the Christmas bulbs
Weightless, you hung your ornaments
Bottle up the feelings - save em, your gonna need em
Cause I’m the one who’s extending the olive branches
And you know it’s true - I do
So go ahead and shake the ice into my favorite pint
Yeah you know me - I just wanna have a good time and
It isn’t so hard to do that
You knew that from day one
Shooting pool at a dive, hot tubs 105
Playing board games where I’d write answers on the lines
Starting with every letter of the alphabet
And if there wasn’t an answer, I’d find it
An answer, I’d find it
An answer, I’ll find it
