lyrics

I wake up, greet the sun
Turn my coffee pot on
Strum on my guitar
And hum along

Still at a loss for words
Sometimes I think so much it hurts
Or I just scare myself and go to sleep

Where I pray for dreams
No nightmares for me
I've seen enough of those in real life

I used to have a few friends
But now I barely talk to them
Maybe once in a while on the internet

I feel I'm fadin' and it's fast
I hope this feelin', it don't last
‘Cause it's not like me to be in such a mood

Maybe it's this Ohio weather
Can't make up its mind
Maybe it's this Ohio weather
Keeps messin' around with mine

I heard New York City never sleeps
Maybe I belong there
‘Cause no matter how hard I try
I can't seem to shut my eyes
Even though my days
They seem so long

And who I've become
Is no one to what I've done
My name just takes space up in the phonebook

Livin' by the crack of a can
From every cigarette-stained hand
Tiny cancers are the answer to the boredom

While the moon hangs and shines
I'm feelin' good with bloodshot eyes
Oh, the glory of being young and dumb

Maybe it's this Ohio weather
Can't make up its mind
Maybe it's this Ohio weather
Keeps messin' around with mine
