in the cold

The sun is almost setting, and I’m out in the cold
Losing all the feeling in my fingers and my toes
But what I wouldn’t do
To quell the feelings that ensue
The icy grasp of winter, it chills me to the bone
It’s the only thing that soothes me, when I’m alone
But when the cold leaves, all my senses they return
In December,
moments always seemed to last
Frozen in the ice and snow,
They’re now just burdens of the past
I think I’ll stay out here
For a month, or for a year
I know nothing’s coming back
Maybe I should disappear
But it’s all gone, and that’s okay
We’ll meet again another day
When we’re older, a little colder
I really wonder what you’d say
A long Canadian winter
Maybe that’s just what I need
Give me some time
I’ll have frozen veins so I can’t bleed
The sun is under the horizon
And all around, the stars are barely shining
By now, you've made it to the spring
I'm sorry, I'm not ready to spread my wings
You might like the warmth
But I prefer the north
So you'll know where I'll be
‘Cause the colds just fine with me

Tell me where I went wrong
Tell me how I sleep for so long
Why are all the lights gone
Why am I still playing along
Tell me where I went wrong
Tell me how I sleep for so long
Why are all the lights gone
Why am I still playing along
Anytime I dream, all i see is black and white
Do you see in technicolor, what’s it like inside the light?
'Cause I’m wondering, how it is to feel alive
No one wants to be a ghost, shut away into the night
Just empty roads, and empty eyes
Frozen hands, there’s no surprise
That I’m stuck till summer
Waiting patiently under the covers
Do I run, do i hide
Should I call you, should i cry
I’ll look up, to the sky
And hope I stay awake tonight
So hello once again
Has it been a year?
But what can you expect
'Cause I always end up here
Can you show me
What I need to know
'Cause you know me
And I need to let go

reminisce

Do you remember
Anything from then
When clouds would pass on by
Time and time again
Still an hour passes
Just the same as it did
Back when we were kids
There’s no remedy for this
Sometimes I sit and reminisce
About the things I know I miss
Sometimes I don't want to exist

bittersweet weather

Bittersweet weather
Just as cold as I remember
Yeah I miss September
But was it really better?
Bittersweet weather
Does it last forever
I’m sick of burning letters
And dancing in the embers
Dancing in the embers all night long
Where did we go, where did we go wrong
Setting fires just for fun
Now the flames are gone
But the colds not going away soon
Get your coat 'cause we’re going away soon
Some place down south that you wanna visit
You know I prefer the north, that’s a problem is it
Freezing rain never stopped us before
But it seems it's frozen the door
And we’re all out of firewood
I don’t think this is something that you can ignore
Is there a way out of this one
'Cause I know that we’re both tired
Like they say, when you’ve got nothing left to burn
You have to set yourself on fire

empty parking lots

I’m wasting my time
'Cause I’m more asleep than alive
And all i see are clouds like mountains
All I hear are my own thoughts
Surrounded by silence,
In this empty parking lot
I’ll just wait till the sky dissipates
I’m all alone again and I can’t think straight
Lost in worry, but far away from everyone
I won’t leave until the stars dissolve into the sun
I took a midnight train to Toronto
And just got lost, all alone
to stare at the sky ‘til tomorrow
Or until I felt at home
Maybe I should’ve stayed inside
But why I didn’t, I know the reason why
It’s all I’ve done my whole life
And I no longer want to hide
I’m wasting my time
'Cause I’m more asleep than alive
And all i see are clouds like mountains
All I hear are my own thoughts
Surrounded by silence,
In this empty parking lot
