The winter's coming and it takes your place

A love that flashes & then fades away

And I know you won't stay

But I can't let you go



They'll pull the pieces 'til it falls apart

They're taking punches at this work of art

And I know you're not far

But I need you close



Torn and frayed

Sad faced today

Concrete and paint

But all of it grey



You barely know me

I'm a lonely man

And I've been trying as hard as I can

Trying to make everyone understand

Understand



When someone's different does it make you hate

Or want to take them in and make them safe

With the kind of love that makes you stay up late

And wait

You're waiting



The winter's coming now they'll trace our tracks

Our vivid colors all just fade to black

And you want them all back

But they're gone



Now I'm cool blue

When I'm with you

I get so happy I can breathe

Your thoughts they comfort me

They swirl up in blue green

Lavender and pink



But I don't want to fall apart

I can't start again

I'm in love

I'm in love

With life

This life
