when the world stopped moving - lizzy mcalpine

when you nodded, i felt winter in our smiles
with your espresso brown hair and your pretty blue eyes
that kinda got blury when we were talking for a while
is it your tears, or are they mine?

i didn't even realise that i started cryin'
but when you made your way outside,
and the tears on my cheeks had me caught up in my mind,
i felt that december as a feeling seemed kinda pretty accurate

months ago you gave me your sweater and it's still my favorite
how am i supposed to wear it once you're gone forever?

i didn't realise how hard a closed door hits
but now, i fear, it kinda feels like it will never get better

and your sweater in my closet is a nice little secret
that you'll make sure i'll keep between us
maybe, some day, it'll be another thing that's supposed to redeem us

all sadness aside, isn't that kinda precious?
that next to all the distancing we've done
there's still something left that we have in common?
