Winter Passing - The Academy Is...

It’s winter again

A white washed and frozen sky

I came to the door

Eyes maladjusted from the light

But your voice rang clear

You said, «For all I thought Id ever need

Its hard to face the holidays without…»

Well Ive left my last message on your machine

Its hard to face the holidays when you’re looking for the words to say

When you’re looking for the words to say

So you found a friend

To spend all your cold nights with him

But if I was there

Then Id wonder why

You still wear my jacket closed

With traces of my scent

And Id say «For all I thought Id ever need

Its hard to face the holidays without.»

Well I’ve left my last message on your machine

Its hard to face the holidays when you’re looking for the words to say

So stay with me here

Nose to nose

Cold enough to see as our breath

Slowly escapes and exchanges

From my lungs to yours

From your mouth to mine

For all I thought I’d ever need

It’s hard to face the holidays without…

Well I’ve left my last message on your machine

It’s hard to face the holidays when you’re looking for the words to say

Stay with me here

Nose to nose

Cold enough to see as our breath

Looking for the words to say

When you’re looking for the words to say…
