here's to old stuff, still good.

There'll be no rest for these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learning
I am

I don't think that I could take another empty moment
I don't think that I could fake another hollow smile
Well, it's not enough just to be lonely
I don't think that I could take another talk about it

And just like me, you’ve got needs
And they're only a whisper away
And we're softly surrendered
To these lives that we've tendered away

There'll be no rest for these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learning
I'm marking it down to learning
Cause I can

I don't wanna be the one who turns the whole thing over
I don't wanna be somewhere where I just don't belong
Where it's not enough just to be sorry (sorry)
Don't you know I feel the darkness closing in

I tried to be more than me
And I gave until it all went away
And we're only surrendered
To the worst part of these winters that we've made

I am all that I'll ever be
When you Lay your hands
Over me
And don't go weak on me please
I know that it's weak
But, God help me, I need this
And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learning
I'm marking it down to learning
Cause I can.
