It feels like snow again
I'm going back home again
I'm driving those old roads again
I know the corners

The house looks the same as it did
And that's how things have been
Mom calls me her "long lost kid"
Just like always

It's been a hard year
But I don't wanna talk about it here
It's been a long fall
But I'm climbing out

I take the dog for a walk
Not much has changed around here
I sneak a cigarette and talk
To an empty sky

I try not to think about it
How you used to laugh out loud
And then come crashing down
Where I can hold you

It's been a hard year
But I don't wanna talk about it here
It's been a long fall
But I'm climbing out
And you called to say
You're sorry for the mess you made
You were just so angry
So angry

A wife and a mother now
Sometimes you still think about how
Things might have gone with you and me
And oh well, I guess it doesn't matter anyway

It's been a hard year
But I don't wanna talk about it here
It's been a long fall
But I'm climbing out
