[verse 1]
i’ve got a devil in my dorm room
who doesn’t seem to mind the light
he’s always looking out my windows
and he sure seems scared of the night

[verse 2]
from time to time he inches closer
only to pull back
i would love offer him my hand to hold
but he doesn’t seem to want that
[verse 3]
but i’ve seen him grow
i feel what he longs to know
and i don’t know if he can see me
but i sure do feel alone

[pre+chorus]
maybe he doesn’t see me as any better
maybe he knows who i’ve been
and doesn’t care to brave the weather

[chorus]
maybe i should hold on tighter to my friends
and try to get better
maybe the devils and shadows
are no more than old ties i’ve severed

don’t think that i wanna go home
i just don’t think there’s one that i know
grown attached to being alone
but i’m not doing so fine here on my own

[pre+chorus]
and i don’t know if i will ever live to see myself
get any better
and i still wake up every morning with you in my heart
and i check for your letters
[saxophone solo]

[verse 4]
got a devil in my dorm room
having the fight of his life
we’ve been living in our shadows and mirrors for years
where any light that reflects dies

[verse 5]
last night he finally spoke
and he said “we’ve gotta go home
gotta reach out for the hands we held onto so long ago
tell them we wanna come home”

[pre+chorus]
but i don’t know if i can lie to myself like that this time
how can i be expected to go on and let go
of all my past lives?

[chorus]
maybe i’m a k!ller and i should turn my
filthy eyes to myself
maybe there’s a world i can go to where no one
checks on my health

don’t think that i wanna go home
i just don’t think there’s one that i know
grown attached to being alone
but i’m not doing so fine here on my own
and i don’t think i will ever live to see myself
get any better
and until the day i die
i’ll keep on writing you all of these love letters

and i don’t know if i will ever see your
bright eyes again
or bear my scars with you in my arms or
or know where you’ve been

[saxophone solo]
