LYRICS:
They said they aren’t surprised,
But neither are you or I.
I guess that’s the worst part.
You told me never again,
You said goodnight at 10pm.
So how did we lose count?

Have I said I’m sorry enough times?
And if you walk away will you be fine?

Cuz I’ll be headed downtown,
Sponge off of somebody,
Get a couple dollars,
And I’ll wait outside of the package store.
Talkin’ like I’m bout to
Get on with somebody,
But I won’t go inside this time.
I just want you to know what’s on my mind tonight.
Well Mama looks at my life,
Shakes her head and she sighs,
“It looks like Vermont out here.”

I look down at my hand,
I don’t suppose I had a plan
When I picked up this stone.
And I can break my bones,
But words go right for my soul.
They burn down cathedrals.

You say I’m dramatic all the time.
And I exaggerate but I’ll be fine.

So I’ll be headed downtown,
Sponge off of somebody,
Get a couple dollars,
Then I’m getting a ticket out of here.
It’s balmy in Bermuda,
Heard it’s cold in Utah.
Guess I’ll just have to stay behind.
Oh I want you to have what’s on my mind tonight.
Oh Mama looks at my life,
Shakes her head, and she sighs,
“It looks like Vermont out here.”

And you can keep it if you want it;
All the things you have to hide,
‘Cause after all, you’re going your way, I’ll go mine.
And I’ll forgive but can’t forget it,
It runs circles in my mind,
But you love circles, you cut corners all the time.

Oh I’ll be headed downtown,
Sponge off of somebody,
Get a couple boxes,
And fill them with letters I wrote for you.
Sell them in a tag sale,
Shrug it off and inhale.
Breathing’s a good way to stay alive.
It’s alright, we already know that we’ve won life’s great prize.
So when I look at my life,
I can’t help it, I smile.
It looks like Vermont out here.
