Water Boils

[Verse] I’ve lived my life in the cold Changing coats as I grow old Our lives are painted in the snow The falling flakes will coat this stone Close your window for the storm In all our houses and our dorms [Chorus] When all this extra time Cedes to real life I realize I can't escape Staring at the fields Nothing’s really real I make the winter now my home [Verse 2] I measure days by water boils Mugs of tea and frozen soil The earth is chilled and I am warm This bridge is strong but in bad form [Chorus] When all this extra time Cedes to real life I realize I can't escape Staring at the fields Nothing’s really real I make the winter now my home
