I cried the night before I went home
I don’t think this is who I want to be
Felt exhilaration and euphoria
And I refused to fix my broken heart
I spent all my time trying to disappear
Because I’m soaked in all of these hauntings
I got so lost in getting lost
That I forgot to say goodbye to me
And it’s snowing
And I can’t believe the new year is starting next week
And it’s snowing
And I didn’t say goodbye to all your ghosts before I had to leave
We left your house early and I still missed the train
But you made everything okay
The radio was on and all we did was sing
Until they started playing the same thing
Sometimes it’s nice to just sit in silence
Sometimes it’s better off that way
But you know I like it, sitting with you
And we don’t have to fill up the space
It’s been awhile since I felt that way
And it’s snowing
And I can’t believe that January starts next week
And it’s snowing
And I didn’t say goodbye to all my ghosts before I had to leave
And it’s snowing
It doesn’t feel like a new year to me
It’s snowing
My ghosts will stay behind
