It started getting dark Before I closed my eyes I don't know where to start I've lost my appetite I fear I've started rotting Air is peeling at my skin The leaves have been forgotten The branches deadly thin Ooh I don't believe in ghosts Ooh But I see them in winter coats So I'd like to take You away somewhere Where the wind doesn't Bite like a motorway dog With ribs poked through his hair We'd huddle under blanket bark A grotto with holes filled in by stars I'd tell you what it's Like to hear my sister laugh And you'd hold me just Like I (you) deserve it Touch me like my (your) Skin was worth it Kiss me like your (My) lips were burning And we'd talk about How it doesn't snow here anymore And cliches wrapped up In tired metaphors I'd be so close to forgetting What I used to hate the cold for But the wind would Blow through once more To remind you where you are You'd smile at me one last time Before it turns to a snarl And you'd hold me Like I don't deserve it Touch me like Your hands stopped working Kiss me like my lips were burning You'd whisper That I haven't earned this Turn your back While my stomach's turning Don't hate me yet But darling aren't you learning? And you'd hold me Like I don't deserve it Touch me like Your hands stopped working Kiss me like my lips were burning You'd whisper That I haven't earned this Turn your back While my stomach's turning Don't hate me yet But darling aren't you learning? And when that happens I'll watch you rise Put on your winter coat You'll disappear into the dark As my eyes begin to close
