The First Day Of Winter

The days are shorter now, but you remember now
I just wish that you weren't remembering that way
You're gonna kill yourself
Everything is gray, everything is not okay
And I can't talk to you until I see some light
And that could take some time

The snow and cold keep me inside
I mark the days off on my calendar
I'm doing time
First day of winter's here
And it's going on thirteen years now
And it makes me wanna go

What happened to you?
You used to be so beautiful
How did you slip so far?
How did you end up strung out after all this time?
It doesn't matter now, start from the beginning now
You've got another chance
And I'll always forgive you, I will
And pretty soon we'll go

And don't you hate that fuckin' life?
The one the assholes of the world always romanticize?
First day of winter's here
And it's going on thirteen years now
Don't it make you wanna go?

The days are shorter, I hope you'll remember that
I'll always be there whenever you're ready to start
From the beginning, but
Time is moving fast, time to get off your ass
Clean it up, and get out, and get on with it now

Keep on trying, and I'll wait for you outside
I'll meet you where we planned, and we'll keep moving
There's still time
First day of winter's here
And it's going on thirteen years now
Don't it make you wanna go?

First day of winter's here
And it's going on thirteen years now
Don't it make you wanna go?
Don't it make you wanna go?
Don't it make you wanna go?
Don't it make you wanna go?
