lyrics

And in wintertime
I'd see you once in a while
cause it was far to your house.

It was too far to take the bus
too much to brave the cold
it was too much to take the bus
it was too much to brave the cold...

and you would ask me
to "sleep on the couch, tonight."
"but I'll stay another time"
(that's what you always say)–

smoke weed and watch tv
and talk about things
not quite as important as
the things that she said.

But for this afternoon, I'm free
so for that time you'll have me.

I once had a girl like yours,
who lived down the hall from me
and in wintertime
we'd hide from the world to see
what things we could build down there
wrapped in blankets and cotton sheets
only to end up with nothing but
the memory of watching tv.

And when they leave our side
the girls that we love will be
lost like snow
in the earth in the coming spring

and we
will reach out for something.


And I'll go driving around again just to hear your voice
and I'm staying up late at night just to see you smile.

I'll go driving around again just to hear your voice
stay up late just to see you smile
I'll get high just to spend some time
around you

I'll watch things that I don't want to see
I promise I deserve to be
your friend you'll see me again

And I regret that I have been
stupid and absorbed with
all the little things that don't matter
they don't matter any more.

And I'd go driving around again
just to see you smile
stay up late at night
just to hear your voice.
