[Verse]
I’ve lived my life in the cold
Changing coats as I grow old
Our lives are painted in the snow
The falling flakes will coat this stone
Close your window for the storm
In all our houses and our dorms

[Chorus]
When all this extra time
Cedes to real life
I realize I can't escape

Staring at the fields
Nothing’s really real
I make the winter now my home

[Verse 2]
I measure days by water boils
Mugs of tea and frozen soil
The earth is chilled and I am warm
This bridge is strong but in bad form

[Chorus]
When all this extra time
Cedes to real life
I realize I can't escape
Staring at the fields
Nothing’s really real
I make the winter now my home
