lyrics

I know this feeling will fade
Every morning I feel silly for what yesterday praised
And I know it makes you dissolve
So let's not be measured, not be careful at all
But now that there's icicles as big as our wrists and
The trees in my back woods look like nervous systems
And after dinner I lie down in the carpet
'Cause it's 5 in the evening but it's already dark

And I hear you say
I can see right through you like sunshine in winter trees
And if it's okay
I will come and rest in you like sunshine in winter trees

I know it's hard to explain
Can't wait to see what will distract me today
I know it gets in your head
You think most clearly when you're drowning in dread
But now that we're dancing just to keep our own feet warm
I wanna tell you driving back in the snowstorm
And after dinner I might take a long shower
'Cause it's 6 in the evening, getting darker each hour

And I hear you say
I can see right through you like sunshine in winter trees
And if it's okay
I will come and rest in you like sunshine in winter trees
