Something cracked inside me On that Wednesday afternoon We'd been numb as silent snow We'd seen nothing but the moon Mocking all the writing I'd been forcing on the page I've been dormant for too long now Like I've been in hibernation But I love you, you know It's just I discovered There's a life beneath the snow
I knew it could never have worked from the outset That doesn't make this heartache easier to accept
Spending every waking moment That I could with you Now I'm wondering what you're doing And I'm wondering if I'd like to do it too
I wish I could hate you That way I could just forget you Be a single girl and show the world That I can live without you Found myself in clutches Of a panic since the break I need closure Want to hold you Do you think we could just fake Pretend the thaw never came And act like nothing had changed
I knew it could never have worked from the outset That doesn't make this heartache easier to accept
Spending every moment wondering Can I call you yet Though I know this must something That we both will have to learn to accept
Now our love has melted To a torrid overflow And the ground's all hard and barren But I guess it's gonna take some time To see something grow Boy you'll be a long time ago
I knew it could never have worked from the outset That doesn't make this heartache easier to accept It's not like I want to leave you Just I've got to go
And I'll always speak with fondness For the year that we spent playing in the snow
