lyrics

been dreaming of snow since I came back home
something to blanket the noise outside of my window
cuz I can't
I can't stand the sound of the world out there
I've been dreaming of snow since I've been stuck home
I stick out amongst the aliveness in the air
well oh my god
my god what a goddamn year it's been
oh my god the year it's been
oh my god the year it's been
oh my god a year it's been?
oh my god

been speaking with ghosts since I came back home
there's something about those moving pictures on my phone
moments in time for when the present is too much for my mind
as I try to unwind and I find myself capsulized by the essence of your life
somehow it stays long after you're miles away
I'm tired of being angry with the birds and heat
I'm tired of being angry with the person you came to be
but I can't
I can't ask you to relieve something for me
so I can feel complete
so I can maybe sleep
so I can try to compete
so I can feel something

I'm still stuck in Oahu
with the Milky Way visible above
our homesick minds could not look up
just caught in this feeling of uncertainty and gloom
but I spent this whole year in love with you
in love with the way this planet moves
and how it spun me into something new
it spun me into the home I found with you
your little dog and his winter boots
someday I will see you again with my own eyes
someday try to recognize what's what
our story doesn't end if we don't give up

so baby just call when you need something
just call if you need something
I will drive when you need to speak
I will drive and see you this week
