The First Day Of Winter

[Verse 1]

The days are shorter now, but you remember now

I just wish that you weren't remembering that way

You're gonna kill yourself

Everything is gray, everything is not okay

And I can't talk to you until I see some light

And that could take some time

[Chorus 1]

The snow and cold keep me inside

I mark the days off on my calendar

I'm doing time

First day of winter's here

And it's going on thirteen years now

And it makes me wanna go

[Verse 2]

What happened to you?

You used to be so beautiful

How did you slip so far?

How did you end up strung out after all this time?

It doesn't matter now, start from the beginning now

You've got another chance

And I'll always forgive you, I will

And pretty soon we'll go

[Chorus 2]

And don't you hate that fuckin' life?

The one the assholes of the world always romanticize?

First day of winter's here

And it's going on thirteen years now

Don't it make you wanna go?

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

The days are shorter, I hope you'll remember that

I'll always be there whenever you're ready to start

From the beginning, but

Time is moving fast, time to get off your ass

Clean it up, and get out, and get on with it now

[Chorus 3]

Keep on trying, and I'll wait for you outside

I'll meet you where we planned, and we'll keep moving

There's still time

First day of winter's here

And it's going on thirteen years now

Don't it make you wanna go?

[Outro]

First day of winter's here

And it's going on thirteen years now

Don't it make you wanna go?

Don't it make you wanna go?

Don't it make you wanna go?

Don't it make you wanna go?
