This Time of Year

Rain turns to snow

Northeast covers up

Let???s let the fire burn out

Head to bed

Ya but baby leave those shades up

I want to watch the night fall

I wanna feel the moon rise

Right here in your arms

cause it???s

i feel alive

hopeful for the next

but happy

to leave this one behind

let???s leave this year behind

Snow quiets the streets

Forces trees to bow

Reminding me that giving in

Isn???t always breaking down

So I???m waiting for the car

To heat up and defrost

Ya shivering and grunting I'm just

Waiting for my bones to adjust

So I'm

Crunching out of the driveway

Death-grip on my steering wheel

When a smile comes over me

And I got to admit

i???m happy i live here

i???m happy i live here

Aren???t you happy you live here

Baby leave those shades up
