lyrics

The winter snow is falling down
And I can feel the cold
I'm not ready for you to go
So I'll throw on another log
The fire is burning bright, you see
And you're the only one
So take a drink and watch it burn
And hum this winter song

The seasons change, the years roll on
I found this home with you, but now you're gone
You know I've been here a long time
Always finding my way
Always watching through the window as the smoke burns away

The weekends that we have together
Always end too soon
And we head back to our lives
In different cities, different rooms
But I don't want to go back to
The way things were before
Let's freeze this frame and keep it
'Cause this family is my home

But time keeps on falling by
And these moments fade away
And I don't know how to leave here
I don't know how to stay
I just get into my car
Turn the heat on again
It don't work well anymore
But neither do I

So let's drive across the country
Let's find a way to get back home
And back to how it was when we were younger
'Cause I'm so damn tired
Of losing that

The winter snow is falling down
The holidays are here
And I can't sleep, so I'll stay up
And crack another beer
And think back on the days of wonder
At what this time of year could bring
The colored lights, the snowball fights
The early morning ring
But many years have come and gone
We've all grown up and moved along
And I just we should could go back there
Be the family that we were
But you can't go backwards
You can only go on
So just meet me at the intersection
Of who we are and what we want
