Snow

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
