Distract me, winter games

I was about to get out the saw

And cut a hole in the icy ice

All day we slip and slide and fall

I hear the wind piling up the leaves

All along the rock wall

And you, you're cracking jokes

And burning wood from last fall

Now it never snows no more

Only freezing dirty rain

Oh no, it never snows

But it gets that smell like it might

Just the same

Put your cold hands on my head

Like a blanket around my brain

Wrap a blanket around my brain yeah

Everything you wanted

More than you could handle

And the light that surrounded you

Leaves you in the dark

Staring at a candle

Roll me over, say my name

I slept right through the winter games

Wake me up, nothing's changed

I slept right through the winter games

Well your helmet, it had no scars

We leave our best coats in bars

Like ice fisherman lose cars

Distract me, winter games

I was about to get out the saw

And cut a hole in the icy ice

Right through to where you are

Everything you wanted

More than you could handle

And the light that surrounded you

Leaves you in the dark

Staring at a candle

Everything you wanted

More than you could handle

And the cup that you drank from

Just leaves you drunk

And staring at a candle

Roll me over, say my name

I slept right through the winter games

Wake me up, nothing's changed

I slept right through the winter games

The winter games
