Consider Me a Winner

Boy from Carolina

Had me blushing right behind him

But I kept quite missing you here telling me to talk

So I bought myself some daffodils

Pretended that he gave them to me

They wilted by the windowsill

The faucets drying up

      

But I’ve got no one to talk too

So I’ve been talking to myself

And all my fictions are showing up

The people in the posters on my walls are growing up

And if I survive the winter and I do it all alone

God consider me a winner

The baby in the mirrors saying damn you’ve grown

            

Don’t worry 'bout me dear

I’m restless in this coffin

We used to call it home

Before the opaque went and tossed it

I’d like to think you’re doing ok

Snowed in craving hospice

I read to pass the time these days

Singing not as often as we would

           

But I’ve got no one to talk too

So I’ve been talking to myself

And all my fictions are showing up

The people in the posters on my walls are growing up

And if I survive the winter and I do it all alone

God consider me a winner

The baby in the mirrors saying damn you’ve grown

        

Is this really just my home now

Am I finally gonna find out

What it’s like to be alone

Break a window wipe the snow down

When the lights go out on Casco bay

I think about you everyday

I stay up late it’s not enough I miss you so damn much

          

And if I survive the winter and I do it all alone

God consider me a winner

Consider me a winner
