Dead WInter

give me a warm light on a dark cold night
and I’m asking you to stop time
cuz my grandma say she ain’t havin’ fun growin’ old no more

give me a bicycle on a windless day
give me a sun that won’t set until I say
cuz I can see my family’s house from my rooftop here but I haven’t seen them in a year

chorus:
Is it me or something else that’s telling me to stick around
That’s telling me to stay in town through a dead winter

give me an old friend and a stiff drink
yeah they’ll remind me who I used to be
when it wasn’t so easy to spread so thin i forget what i’m made of

give an end to the wars here and everywhere else
give me the love to end that shit inside myself
and i think that it’ll take an endless day to figure all of this out

take what you need from me give back the rest
i’ll give what i can if it’s in my interest
i’m fucked up and wrong from whatever i’ve learned
i’m trying to notice, teach myself to unlearn
there’s shit we gotta build up there’s shit we gotta burn
there’s shit we teach one another and some we gotta earn
what’s in my interest is that of your own
i’m trying to keep this in my heart and keep my heart close to my home
