Description Hold on; be strong
Here comes the wind, baby
Rock-a-bye sings, lazy
Winter days
   Lazy winter days

Take a scarf I said
Tying mine into an intricate knot
Hoping you wouldn't notice
As I laced it
   In the same pattern as our fingers
Your scent lingers on
Even after you've gone
Running down the road
Seventy miles per hour,
And hours later
I still can't believe you're gone

You took hold of me
Like a fist,
  You tied me like a windsor knot
Holding me close,
But spreading me to hide
Some unseen, unknown imperfection
An infection of the heart
Hidden behind polite smiles
All the while you cried
     Because of some cold wind
 Some winter night
    You couldn't find
The strength to fight again

You'll hurt me softly
I'll cry but you'll see
That I'm so much stronger
Than you give me credit for

The weather calls for snow
An icy winter in the cold of our hearts
"It's fine," I say
Holding your ice cold hand
Growing colder
For another thirty minute
Parking lot enclosure
   The speakers
 Pumping out pop punk and classic rock

The defrost didn't loosen the ice on my heart,
But your kiss shook the snow of my shoulder
Your smile grew warmer
          As the car got colder

We'll be together
In frostbitten weather
We'll shake the cold off,
And we'll take out coats off


Hold on be strong
The cold's not kind to unseasonal love,
But my hands still feel the same
Bundled in gloves
It's almost like holding yours
      Far away
   Prisoner in some snow fort
So I'll stock up on hot chai tea,
Pumpkin spice, and snow cream
I'll brave the snow
   So maybe you'll know

That even though we bloomed late
I think it's beautiful that we bloomed
