my god, it's been a cold one
makes me wonder why i ever come back
coldest i remember in a long, long time
i wonder who's around this time of night
i haven't seen you since you moved away
stopping by your house at the death of day
snow starts falling as i hit the door
the end of november felt like a war
and it's time to say hello again
after we split, somehow we stayed friends
what's it been, three years, to the day
it's good to see you, i can't stay
could you help me with this, you say
i haven't had the time to put them up today
suddenly i miss this so much
as we head out our hands touch
and it's time to hang the lights on your porch
in the dark, i see more
i watch your hands as they rise
and your breath crystallize
with both hands on the wheel
the leaves on the ground know how i feel
you take off flying when you can't stand hanging around
but it's all just falling when you hit the ground
and it's time to say goodbye and i'm gone
for the second time. i was wrong
to have left you and turned my back
looking for something i already had
