winter coats lyrics

(written by kevin griffin)

Discarded, left behind
Paper-cups and sour wine
Candlewax, tablecloth
Try to wash, it won't come off
Ticket stubs and movie scenes
Dustin hoffman has gangrene
Ferris-wheel in the park
City lights after dark

Well I'm goin' home when I find the girl
Makes me forget what I should have done
In winter coats
In winter coats
In winter coats
In winter
Lives are fallin' fast in line
The words make sense
But they don't seem to rhyme

Risin' tide, ocean breeze
Crashin' waves, askin' please
Listen to the radio
Singin' with the songs you know
Tim passing, memory fades
Forget about the plans we made
Decisions wrap the coat up tight
We keep it safe from the light

But I'm goin' home when I find the girl
Makes me forget what I should have not
In winter coats
In winter coats
In winter coats
In winter
Lives are fallin' fast in line
The words make sense
But they don't seem to rhyme

[take it, joel]

But I'm goin' home where I'll find the girl
That we won't forget what we should have not
In winter coats
In winter coats
In winter coats
In winter
Lives are fallin' fast in line
Our words make sense
But we don't seem to rhyme
We don't seem to rhyme
We don't seem to rhyme
We don't seem to rhyme
