78 - Intellectual

[Broadcast intro]

[Verse 1]

I said I'll take the long way home

It's not an issue with my heart, it's just the aching in my bones

I said I'll take the long way home

It's only ten o'clock at night and if there's trouble I can call your phone

But I won't

[Bridge]

I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm alright now

[Verse 2]

And I can see the storm clouds grow

I drive a mile down the street and see the blizzard warnings glow

The sky begins to pour down snow

And I think back to your expression when you said you'd never let me go

But you did

[Chorus]

It’s coming down like it's '78 in Massachusetts

I see the circle, I'm praying that I don't crash into it

If Watch the World wasn't playing, I wouldn't be asking you to stay

My head was reckless

You turned me into a skeptic

I get dеfensive like you wouldn't bеlieve

You should be careful throwing punches with your heart on your sleeve

It's coming down like it's '78 in Boston again

I'm lost in my head

I think I'll call her again

[Bridge]

I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm alright now

We cut ties (I'm alright)

It's probably for the better (I'm alright)

Every time it's snowing out (I'm alright)

I feel a sense of dread inside (I'm alright now)

I can't hide (I'm alright)

You'll be with me forever (I'm alright)

I learned to brace for bad news (I'm alright)

With the overcast (I'm alright)
