Coldweather Girls Lyrics

I see her only in cold weather, in lieu of something better

While the band plays I watch her roll her eyes

Then buried under covers, incidental lovers

I try in vain to keep some heat inside

Winter draws her shade over the world

And I can't break away from these Coldweather Girls

Huddled in a backseat I can hear her heartbeat

Start its same syncopated song

And while she acts indifferent, I can hear it whispering

"Come on...come on."

So arm in arm at 3AM, I see her crooked charm again

She greets the frozen winds and laughs them off

But coat and directionless, I'm probably not built for this

"Come on," she says, "it's too late to stop."

Winter draws her shade over the world

And I can't break away from these Coldweather Girls

Morning comes irreverent, I lose my frame of reference

Dawn's just another shade of gray

So I pass the nights as I can, cause they appear clearer than

The silent fog that smothers every day

And the season's just an alibi, I tell myself the reasons why

Something better's just around the bend

From inside this silver cloud and the little light that it allows

I can't see where this weather ends

Winter draws her shade over the world

And I can't break away from these Coldweather Girls

I hear it only in cold weather, in lieu of something better

The windows sigh, the band starts its song

And I fear it in December, but I hear it and remember:

"Come on....come on."
