The Christmas nights have full expired
And last year's tree is in the fire
Spent the summer in Omaha
With no reason at all

All those years spent on a road
Just sending notes don't mean much anymore
A compass no longer shows
You, the true North

Everybody needs a reason to wake up enough
Everybody needs a reason to wake up enough

Smoke and gin it's all pretend
That I don't know there's something killing me
As my friends start their families
I should be happy but I'm grieving

I call you loose but the truth is
I don't know my own way anymore
I see the ones with ambition won
And it's like losing a hundred wars

But I'm too selfish and mean
To give up on the dream
But what is the dream?
You tell me
You tell me

Into disappearing season my time has come
I'm still looking for a reason to wake up enough

The Christmas lights have full expired
And last year's tree is in the fire
The last summer in Omaha
With no reason at all
