lyrics

You've opened up a bottle of wine and you're thinking of Christmas time
And how you used to believe in Santa Claus
You used to think about kids and a house
That notion has up and left you now

It's been seven years ago today since you last saw that face
Oh that was so long ago
Now you've grown bitter and you're old enough to know
That it takes more time to build than to break

--
Clouds roll by and they block out the sun
Is this what it means to be lost?
--

The wheels are coming off of the car that you own
And the tailpipe hits the asphalt when you drive
The plant you bought last week has begun to wilt
You probably just gave it too much water

Skipping from thought to thought, your mind lands
On some chore that you forgot to do
Everyone can complain, except for you
Cause you know that you've chosen all of this

(Chorus)

The smell of rain is soft as it runs up your nose
The buzz of wine has finally kicked in
Thumbing through your phone you notice that
Snow is falling all the way down in your hometown
