I don’t normally write songs like this— it just sort of happened. But I really like the end result.

Lyrics:

looking up through the windshield
frost around the moon
i knew this would be the last time
that i cried in the van
i was only seventeen
when you told me that you hated me
you slammed the door and fell down in the snow
and limped back home

where’s the sunlight?

i live in a place that skips the shitty seasons
but i miss the shitty seasons
i miss the shitty seasons

i drove to california with my friend
to get away
forget all that you said to my face
in the hot desert wind
the sun burned my back right to the bone
hot sand underneath
i never found what i was looking for
it’s not even here

where’s the sunlight?

i live in a place that skips the shitty seasons
but i miss the shitty seasons
i miss the shitty seasons

the cold will save me from myself
winter will keep my fading dreams alive.

oh yes i’m coming home
i don’t even want to be alone.
