Song Lyrics

Something cracked inside me
On that Wednesday afternoon
We’d been numb as silent snow
We'd seen nothing but the moon
Mocking all the writing
I'd been forcing on the page
I've been dormant for too long now
Like I've been in hibernation
But I love you, you know
It's just I discovered
There's a life beneath the snow

I knew it could never have worked from the outset
That doesn't make this heartache easier to accept

Spending every waking moment
That I could with you
Now I'm wondering what you're doing
And I'm wondering if I'd like to do it too

I wish I could hate you
That way I could just forget you
Be a single girl and show the world
That I can live without you
Found myself in clutches
Of a panic since the break
I need closure
Want to hold you
Do you think we could just fake
Pretend the thaw never came
And act like nothing had changed

I knew it could never have worked from the outset
That doesn't make this heartache easier to accept

Spending every moment wondering
Can I call you yet
Though I know this must something
That we both will have to learn to accept

Now our love has melted
To a torrid overflow
And the ground’s all hard and barren
But I guess it's gonna take some time
To see something grow
Boy you'll be a long time ago

I knew it could never have worked from the outset
That doesn't make this heartache easier to accept
It's not like I want to leave you
Just I've got to go

And I'll always speak with fondness
For the year that we spent playing in the snow
