[Verse 1] I watched the oil leak across the drive It’s a miracle the truck is still alive The rain is washing out the backyard fence Nothing about this ever made much sense [Verse 2] I bought the brand of bread you always like Left my keys beside your broken bike I’m cutting through the plastic on the shelf I’m getting pretty good at lying to myself [Chorus] I am the fool who keeps the light on Waiting for the heat to turn to ice Walking on the edge until I’m gone Paying for the same mistake twice I am the fool who keeps the light on Waiting for the heat to turn to ice Walking on the edge until I’m gone Paying for the same mistake twice [Verse 3] I see the way you look towards the trees The sky is getting heavy like a stone The porch is rotting from the winter damp I’m losing track of what is really mine [Verse 4] The water in the glass is turning gray I hear the sound of wood against the brick The dust is settling on the kitchen floor I’m wishing all the hours would slip away [Chorus] I am the fool who keeps the light on Waiting for the heat to turn to ice Walking on the edge until I’m gone Paying for the same mistake twice I am the fool who keeps the light on Waiting for the heat to turn to ice Walking on the edge until I’m gone Paying for the same mistake twice [Bridge] I hate the skin I’m standing in today I’ve got no clever things left to say The fault is mine for staying in the dark I’m watching how the water leaves a mark I’m looking for a reason or a spark I’m just a ghost inside a moving car
