Sweater Paws Lyrics

Your doey eyes, they make me weak

And we both shiver from the cold, but still I find I'm crumbling at your feet

Those crimson cheeks, oh how they glow

The only color miles around, but still I feel I'm drowning in the snow

I hope you know

You can hide your gaze and look away

Ignore the flakes that settle on your nose

As your hands shake in those sweater paws

You can cower like an animal

Pretending that it's sensible to just not breathe

I just wish we could be who we used to be

Your velvet skin is frozen o'er

And though there's no reason to stay, we find we just keep coming back for more

But those golden eyes are going dark

They used to shine like all the stars but now the winter's bleeding out their spark

Oh what a start

You can hide your gaze and look away

Ignore the flakes that settle on your nose

As your hands shake in those sweater paws

You can cower like an animal

Pretending that it's sensible to just not breathe

I just wish we could be who we used to be

You never know what you will miss

Intangible and fleeting like a warm summer's fading auburn kiss

But I'll still know you when I sleep

Our memories will permeate, I'll make a version of you I can keep

You can hide your gaze and look away

Ignore the flakes that settle on your nose

As your hands shake in those sweater paws

You can cower like an animal

Pretending that it's sensible to just not breathe

I just wish we could be who we used to be
