lyrics

You’re starting to sleep through the night
I’m starting to think that you missed the point
And now there’s no telling what’s right
But let’s not pretend it wasn’t your choice

Cause you don’t want what most people want
And you think you’re better off that way
But you’ve been living inside your head
And now you’ve got nothing to say
You don’t want what most people want
And you think you’re better off that way

But when January rough times come
You go back to where you started from

The letters that you never write
And the reasons that you’re prepared to recite
Protected and uncompromised
With nothing to fear and no one to fight

Cause you don’t want what most people want
And you think you’re better off that way
But you’ve been living inside your head
And now you’ve got nothing to say
You don’t want what most people want
And you think you’re better off that way

But when January rough times come
You go back to where you started from
