February Snow

And she said to me so beautifully

All the reasons why she couldn't stay

Why'd she have to say it so beautifully

So abrupt yet so cliché

Love is so short and sweet

But it never seemed to be

A love played out in daydream scenes

In reality never meant to be

But now there ain't no February snow

No reason for you to come back home

You doing this to make it easier to go?

Could it end different, I'll never know

But now there ain't no February snow

Oh

Yeah, she said to me so beautifully

All the reasons why she couldn't stay

Why'd she have to say it so beautifully

So abrupt yet so cliché

It's sad to think that all the time we shared

And all the ways I used to make you laugh

Are just poor reminders of what's incomplete

Lost love so sad to see

But now there ain't no February snow

No reason for you to come back home

You doing this to make it easier to go?

Could it end different, I'll never know

But now there ain't no February snow

Oh

We could have been so much more (tired eyes are looking down, cross the seashore westward bound)

We could have been so much more (past pedestals and silver frowns)

We could have been so much more (I'm taking all that I can take, I'm blurring out faces and names)

We could have been so much more (I'm holding on, won't let you fall)

She used to love the February snow

But now the days just come and go

Am I just better off not to know

Why on earth you hurt me so

Now we're far past the summer glow

All the leaves have fallen on their own

As January comes and goes

And rain turns into snow
