Lyrics

[00:29.049] The first whiteness unfolds.
[00:34.054] One look out the window and your sold
[00:39.804] Muffled sound as we rolled around
[00:43.954] and a nearby refuge from the cold
[00:48.660] Where your brother had transformed the bed
[00:53.162] into a ship that could keep you safe
[00:58.515] But the boy beneath the sheets tonight
[01:03.265] is hard to recognize
[01:07.990] with a head that fills with words that kill
[01:12.840] when you run out of things to talk about.
[01:16.292]
[01:50.153] Leaning back on the curb
[01:53.163] outside her parents house in the suburbs
[01:59.566] Her first love was a hopeful one
[02:03.666] and you were starry-eyed till the Earth had turned
[02:08.919] But you were the first born son
[02:13.069] of a marriage of hit and run
[02:18.070] So ever since you've searched for things
[02:23.024] you could easily derail
[02:27.275] And they did of course
[02:29.975] when you shut those doors
[02:32.277] Is it strange they never understood at all
[02:39.527] No you were so hard to get
[02:43.750] And all you see now are their silhouettes
[02:48.402] As you keep your pace through the cityscape
[02:53.356] and its' picture perfect snow
[02:57.807] While the starlit night and city lights
[03:02.859] are fighting to let you know
[03:07.159] that the innocence yeah it was well spent
[03:11.911] but it's time to let it go
[03:16.011] 'Cause you've got a sharper pen and the best of friends
[03:21.611] So what is there to cry about
