Alchemy

(album: Heart Beats Pacific - 2011)

Been living under frozen sky
But we've all got ways that we get by
You changed your name
The one you had it didn't fit right
And I know you'd dream of something else
If you could sleep nights

I know, so tonight I'll stay here with you
There's nothing else I'd rather do
We'll look for reasons for why we're here
We'll blame the season for this fear

I'll say everything'll work out
Like I know what I'm talking about
But all this snow keeps piling up
We dig it's never deep enough

Just need a change in atmosphere
It's like winter's earlier each year
Sidewalks across this town
Are icing up, we're sliding down
Look for a place to drown, find a bar a block a way

You're just a kid bruising up
If I could tell you
How many times you gotta fall
Before you break through

I would, so tonight I'll stay here with you
There's nothing else I'd rather do
We'll look for reasons for why we're here
We'll blame the season for this fear

I'll say everything'll work out
Like I know what I'm talking about
But all this snow keeps piling up
We dig it's never deep enough

Cold drinks and snow falls, I'll pick up your phone calls
I get too wrapped up in my own shit
We order one more round and sit

And I know when you're living under sheets of snow
It can look like the worlds gone black
But remember that the sun comes back
At least they say it does...
