Oh my god a winter for a year
Oh my god a winter for a year
And I cleaned out the back of my wardrobe for a year
Jackets never turn into branches
Not while you're not here
Oh my god a winter for a year
Oh my god a winter for a year
I kept my life so cold
Every breath just fogs up all the mirrors
The tears are frozen long
Long before I ever thought of crying
So ends my yearlong romance
With radio towers and machines
Wasted all my prayers
That I can't remember my dreams
But I don't mind
Oh my god a winter for a year
Oh my god a winter for a year
And I cleaned out the back of my wardrobe for a year
Jackets never turn into branches
Not while you're not here
So ends my yearlong romance
With radio towers and machines
Wasted all my prayers
That I can't remember my dreams
But I don't mind
No I don't
No I don't care anymore
