So save all of your light For those who can¹t sleep at night And who can¹t even sing to their shadows Oh they ride into town And they throw the shots down And they save the last round for the windows

Singing don¹t let me into this year with an empty heart With an empty heart Don¹t let me into this year with an empty heart

I¹m inside with my friends We build fires and pretend That the night could just bend on forever While outside in the frost Are the wolves and the lost And we sing to the dogs or whoever

Singing don¹t let me into this year with an empty heart With an empty heart Don¹t let me into this year with an empty heart

There¹s a friend that I have And for her I¹ll go back You see all of these empties that I¹m holding They¹re too much for a man Empty arms, empty hands And she¹ll know me by the sound of my hoping

Singing don¹t let me into this year with an empty heart With an empty heart Don¹t let me into this year with an empty heart
