“It's a bit early in the midnight hour for me / To go through all the things that I want to be
Take me away / 'Cos I just don't want to stay / And the lies you make me say / Are getting deeper every day
If you're lost at sea / Well I hope that you drownd"
Please don't cry / Never say die”

I don't care what you say.
Don't you come walkin' beggin' back mama.

No excuses to make.
Ain't no mountain that I can't climb baby.
All is going my way.”

“Did I make you cry
On Christmas day?
Did I let you down
Like every other day?
Did I make you cry
On Christmas day?
Did I let you down
On Christmas day?
...
I stay awake at night
After we have a fight
I'm writing poems about you
And they aren't very nice.”

Sufjan Stevens (1975) American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist
