It's almost winter Are you struggling to stay awake? Your voice might splinter But it keeps the sadness away We'll spend days in bed Because we know it's where we belong I'll let it go to my head And we'll be anchored here before long
I'd encourage you to stay warm For the good of your health And when the sheets get worn I'll replace them myself And when you need space I'll be thinking of you, I'll be writing about you Because you've got this face that I'm enamoured with
We'll set fire to ourselves Because it's easier than making the effort to care We're running out of oxygen And we're fighting, fighting for air The ink has all run out And the letters are no longer there
We're not so reckless, you and I Counting silhouettes of branches From a broken blow up mattress Tasting early morning oxygen And just for fun, we'll bring matches And hope nothing important catches
Our hands have melted in the snow And our eyes are shot beyond repair Walking on fractured ice was the worst idea But the excursion was worth it to be fair
We'll set fire to ourselves Because it's easier than making the effort to care We're running out of oxygen And we're fighting, fighting for air The ink has all run out And the letters are no longer there
