One freezing cold November, what I once thought was severed
Came back crawling like a bird that couldn't fly
I tried not to remember his ever-changing temper
When I saw you, I forgot why I had cried
Fast forward introductions, fuck all their cruel instructions
I knew what it was when I looked in your eyes
Emotional seduction, without an interruption
You came rushing like an ocean's highest tide
And I need it
The secondhand smoke of all your backhand jokes
And all our tight handholds and all my white man's prose
One bipolar December, like changing of the weather
I was on the fence but you opened the gates
It might just be forever, but I've had past endeavors
Where the anger outgrew all the love I gave
One weakening subconscious weighing up all my options
Couldn't help but stop when I knew what to do
A little bit obnoxious, although the people mock us
I can't help that I'm just so in love with you
And I mean it
My half-baked plans and your protective glance
And our romantic dance by fateful happenstance
But am I enough to warm the hearth you built?
And what happens when I let everything in through the windows?
You've got this un-American apathy that I envy
And I'm a fatalist descending into frenzy
And I write songs about you that end up being too lengthy
But you love them anyway
I think a part of me just wants to live in your body
Make all your interests mine and take up all of your hobbies
Put on your favorite shoes and talk about me at parties
But I think you do anyway
I never thought this kind of love would find me
I think I met you in the 1890s
This thing between us is an ancient legend
And it'll be here 'til we're 97
And who knew winter would become my favorite season?
But it is for a million reasons
