And if i had something to say to you I'd whisper it softly,
Kiss you on your rosey lips and never let you off me.
Shiver on your roof and see your face lit by starlight,
Hold you through the night and watch that Colorado sunrise.

I've got five fingers on each hand for every mistake that I've made,
'Cause my tongue is tied to tonsels and i need to shit and shave.
I'm a shade to pale for handsome and have habits I can't shake,
And if you try to take that from me well I'll never be the same.

Trainwreck that I am,
And I am what I am what I am what I am,
A trainwreck, that I am
And I am what I am what I am what I am,
A trainwreck.

And as long as it's okay with you I think I'll stay right here.
I got no where to go 'cause where to go is up to you, dear.
Happy as a clam I see the glimmer in your eyes.
Hold you through the night and watch that Colorado sunrise.

No car and never cared cared because I got no place to go.
But in a room missing a wall,
I couldn't pay a plant to grow
You can try and make this pretty, pick up all my dirty clothes.
And if you never really get me then I guess you'll never know the

Trainwreck that I am.
And I am what I am what I am what I am,
A trainwreck that I am.
And I am what I am what I am what I am,
A trainwreck.

I've got five fingers on each hand for every mistake that I've made.
'Cause my tongue is tied to tonsels and I need to shit and shave,
I'm a shade to pale for handsome and have habits I can't shake.
And if you try to take that from me well I wouldn't be the same.

Trainwreck that I am
And I am what I am what I am what I am,
(Colorado sunrise)
A trainwreck, that I am.
And I am what I am what I am what I am,
(Colorado sunrise)
A trainwreck, that I am.
(If I had something to say to you I'd whisper it softly)
And I am what I am what I am what I am,
(Kiss you on your rosey lips and never let you off me)
A trainwreck, that I am.
(Shiver on your roof see your face lit by starlight)
And I am what I am what I am what I am,
(Hold you through the night and watch that Colorado sunrise)
A trainwreck.

    Lyric Correction:"Live in a room missing a wall" is the correct line, rather than "But in a room missing a wall"

    My Interpretation:Think About This Line "In A Room Missing A Wall, I Couldn't Pay A Plant To Grow." If A Room Is Missing A Wall...The Sun And The Elements Could Get In Far Easier And Reach That Plant But His Room Is A Euphemism For His Life And Himself, If You Let All The Good In It Still Wouldn't Change Who I Am Deep Down.

    General Comment:the meaning.. some of it self explanatory.
    means he is a wreck, he's got issues and made mistakes that cant be avoided and things about him that cant be hidden or sugarcoated... hes a mess and that's just the way things are.. he is what he is and he's fine with it and hopefully the person he is with is fine with it too.

    Song Meaning:the correct lyrics of "a room, a single wall" are "in a room, a single wallet couldn't pay a plant to grow"

    General Comment:Colorado homeboys, hell yeah. I'm so proud of these guys for properly representing Colorado, and not just being typical Boulder hipster douchebags. They're weird and dorky but amazing lyricists with some serious talent.

    I think this song is about him understanding he's not the best person in the world, and he's more than willing to accept this. He's just hoping the girl he fancies accepts this as well.

    This song makes me think of Red Rocks, btw. Sunrise from up there is flipping amazing.
