Love's Like Snow

Haven't looked out a window in so long
What we see is a welcome surprise
We step out into this morning
The tree branches hang lower
We'll walk closer as it gets colder
These footprints we make will guide us home
And I love this minutes
Sent out your line
I'm hooked in it
Oh
These crackles and embers are soothing
Reminders that we are home
Watch the outside scene
As we're dreaming alive
Under covers, covers
And we're speaking in whispers
She's gone for a second and he missed her
Oh
Your love's like snow as it blankets the landscape
So its all that my eyes can see
Its always raining when you're not with me
But when you're hear all I see is snow
And this cloudy sky's a reminder that you're all that I need
To get through this winter
My warmth lies within her

Riptides
04:08
|

|
Staring into my head
I see what I can't speak
And I am scared to death
Because I wanna take a leap
Walking hand in hand
Now wondering what there is to fear
And I'm thinking about where we'll be
Laying this time next year
Now I'll face these riptides
Let them carry me away
I'll send you a postcard
Now that I've found my way
'cause these walls I've made are tumbling over
And falling into the sea
now i can feel your sunrise coming
through my window to wake me and set me free
Now all my old pictures
Broke up with their frames
I can let my guard down, let in her
And just enjoy this train

Late Night Drive
04:30
|
|||
|
Disillusioned standing in the driveway
Can't hear the goodbyes
Friends parting ways
Blinking headlights
Turning off the road
Tonight I think I'll take the long way home
The highway wind blows through my hair to the beat
Of something playing in a minor key
Missed opportunities
Plans gone off astray
Damn I wish I would have said it that way
What is it about the night
that makes us think about the things we've lost?
Good times only seem drawn to the day
Re-writes come at a higher cost
Times where we might have had too much pride
Its all so clear on this late night drive
The things we think and the things we say
Separate us from what was and come what may
Dealing with goodbyes that came too soon
I'll drive and drive
Me and my thoughts and the moon
In winter you don't care
if the snow falls on your face
in summer all your clothes
could become damp with rain
Reflection isn't just the other side of the mirror
Its connections made and spayed
Second guesses
Frantic retractions
But its too late

Twilight
03:57
|
|||
|
Ashes of memories
Scattered around like planted trees
And you're waiting for the loss of leaves
Glimmers of hope
And shimmers of dreams
Waiting for your bird
To find its way back and sing
And you're wondering
Will she come home?
I don't think so
So its you alone
In the twilight of your soul
Threw it all in a drawer
Locked it with a key
Burned the chest it lived in
But the ghost still consumes me
I wish you would come back
And sit in a frame on my wall
Or live in the list
Of my most recent calls
But its over
Moving forward
Will she come home?
I don't think so
So its you alone
In the twilight of your soul
Fighting with your present
Because it won't become the past
Memories are for suckers
Who couldn't make it last

House Of Three
04:33
|

|
I don't wanna be here anymore
I don't wanna be here anymore
'cause it seems to me
This new house of three's a reminder that there's one missing
I don't wanna be here anymore
I don't wanna be me anymore
I don't wanna be me anymore
'cause it seems to me
That this would be
Better with a new identity
I don't wanna be myself anymore
Driving
Away is all that I can think
A perfect shade of blue and a touch of green
And I can't see the skyline anymore
But I swear that it sank perfectly between
Where I'm going and where we used to be
We try to make sense of why we so early had to say goodbye
And I swore to god I said everything
But everything's still not enough
'cause the rest of my life was counting on you to be
A christmas fire
Spring moon
And a summer breeze
I don't wanna have my memories
I don't wanna have my memories
'cause I don't need reminding
That they're all that's left 'till eternity
I don't wanna have my memories
Driving
Away is all that I can think
I'm thinking back
I wish I was sixteen
'cause then the sky would be just the sky to me
I wouldn't look up and imagine what you're doing
Or if I'd wake up 'cause I was only dreaming
