Joey is staying home tonight
Wearing a shirt with yellow stripes
He wears every time he feels sick
Only he knows how much he hates
To wear that shirt, to feel that way
But this time things are a little bit different
Doesn't care that much about the cold
Or about the shiver on his back
Doesn't care about the pills or the fever
Or the cough he doesn't care about that either
Joey stands still at the window
He shakes a bit, he holds a pillow
But his gaze is lost far far from home
He should eat and rest but in the end
Is not his fault, he just can't
Stop thinking about his lovely girl
Doesn't care that much about the cold
Or about the shiver on his back
Doesn't care about the pills or the fever
Or the cough he doesn't care about that either
The look, the feels
His cursed insecurities
The lies, the love
The empty feeling falling from above
He wonders if she feels the same as he does
If she knows what means to be that way
To feel sick of crying for love
Suffering for her but still wants her anyway
And now he feels so guilty because he couldn't be a man
He wants a second chance to get the only thing that wants
Doesn't care that much about the cold
Or about the shiver on his back
Doesn't care about the pills or the fever
Or the cough he doesn't care about that either
Everything he cares of is his girl
He wants to live the dream that every night
Kept him from sleeping all night long
Making him a fool in his own eyes
Doesn't care that much about the cold
Doesn't care about the pills or the fever
Joey stands still at the window
