The Trouble With Being Warm

Paid dues in the afternoon, I'm
Swept up by the dust in the room
Weak branch in the neighborhood, I
Stretched my limbs like I thought I should


Under what my body hid, I
Sang and said what I should have
In the arms where I start to sway
Can you hold my coat while I go
And play?


'Cause I
Need what I want
When I try
Don't I
Need what I want
When I try?


Oh, the trouble with being warm
The cold in me gets bored


Cold shoulder makes my head warmer
Scratched by your sweater as we head
As we head home
All of the quick ways out of it, I
Put my bets on an easy fix


'Cause I
Need what I want
When I try
Don't I
Need what I hope
When I try?


Don't I, I, I, I
I, I need what I want
When I try?
Need what I want
When I try
Need what I want
When I—


The trouble with being warm
The cold in me gets bored
Oh, the trouble with being warm
The cold in me gets bored

[Verse 1]
Paid dues in the afternoon, I'm
Swept up by the dust in the room
Weak branch in the neighborhood, I
Stretched my limbs like I thought I should

[Verse 2]
Under what my body hid, I
Sang and said what I should have
In the arms where I start to sway
Can you hold my coat while I go
And play?

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I
Need what I want
When I try
Don't I
Need what I want
When I try?

[Chorus]
Oh, the trouble with being warm
The cold in me gets bored

[Verse 3]
Cold shoulder makes my head warmer
Scratched by your sweater as we head
As we head home
All of the quick ways out of it, I
Put my bets on an easy fix

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I
Need what I want
When I try
Don't I
Need what I hope
When I try?

[Bridge]
Don't I, I, I, I
I, I need what I want
When I try?
Need what I want
When I try
Need what I want
When I—

[Chorus]
The trouble with being warm
The cold in me gets bored
Oh, the trouble with being warm
The cold in me gets bored
