lyrics

Watching the first snowfall of the season
Wondering what I have to believe in
Make my way over, driving through salt
Mash 25 pounds of potatoes in a pot
Tell you a story that you forget
So she takes the keys and I take a breath
And show you the way to places you know
Cause the gods are making sure our education doesn't slow

Sitting against the wall of my bedroom
Finding how hard it is to forget you
Making these pages blacker than not
Assigning points of value to the things that I have got
Watching the snow outside on the trees
Finding myself just waiting for spring
But telling the neighbors "Enjoy the snow"
Cause none of us have got a way to get to where we need to go

And you won't melt the ice from my steps, oh no
You won't tell me where I've got to go next
You won't part the clouds in my sky
As far away as they may seem, boy, it's a job that's gotta start inside
It's a job that's gotta start inside

Watching the first snowfall of the season
Wondering what I have to believe in
Make my way over, driving through salt
Mash 25 pounds of potatoes in a pot
Tell you a story that you forget
So she takes the keys and I take a breath
And show you the way to places you know
Cause the gods are making sure our education doesn't slow

And I'm tellin you that you won't melt the ice from my steps, oh no
You won't tell me where I've got to go next
You won't part the clouds in my sky
As far away as they may seem, boy, it's a job that's gotta start inside
It's a job that's gotta start inside
