lyrics

Well I’m not sure where my childhood's gone.
I saw it creeping round here yester year.
But winter came and I took the blame
for things I should have just chalked up to fear.
Summer breathed her warnings into me
but she stole away, a thief in the night.
She took all we had
every god damned last piece of our salvation
Left us groping in the grayish-ness of light.
I lost my mind
Slept in blankets weighted with time
I awoke to find you still sleeping next to me.
Now i’m terribly afraid
of all the perfect love we’ve made.
I’m so sorry,
Never said loving me was easy.

But if you want a song
I would
write them all
for you.
Said if you want a song
I could write them all
for you.

This whole damn month
my ship’s been more than sunk
you put on your stern face
to get me out of bed.
But sorrow knows not fair
and gives me more than my share
takes me down paths I’d rather not be lead.
You keep me warm.
Talk of spring and summer storms.
Say good weather is just around the bend.
Through all this dark
you somehow left your mark.
I’d be proud to live such a life again.

and if you want a song
I would
write them all
for you.
Said if you want a song
I would write them all
for you.
