January

And “Snow,” she said
“Outside, it’s starting to snow
It’s getting late
And I think that you’d better go
But I’m not leaving here without your heart
And you’ve fallen all around me
And you’ll be begging me for mercy
And I’ll be kissing you deep
And I don’t know just where these feelings started
But you’d better let them go
‘Cause there’s things about me I don’t think I want you to know

And “Drink,” she said
“’Cause it always brings out your smile
You lose your head, and I’ll give you mine for a while.
Being here makes me a little nervous
And I don’t think that we should do it
Sometimes you terrify me to my very soul, I’m shaking
Drinking brings me back into your bedroom
And you smell like sweat and liquor
And when you clench your teeth that way, darling
It makes me tired again

And “Snow,” she said
“How it is a lot like our lives
Watch it fall in meltings. It hits our eyes
And know that spring’s a fair and fickle season
And if you just keep believing
Then I promise one day
it will fall in all our windows
And men in book all press all their sweet flowers
Lay in bed for hours
And I’ll teach you the full symphonies of from your petal work

And “Love,” she said
“How everyone I gave it to
They’re all gone
And don’t let that ever be you, boy.
And I say, “Oh, how badly I want to be loved
And to hear a voice so sweetly
Say I’m not a disappointment.
She says I’m not a failure
And oh, how badly I want to be loved
And to hear a voice so sweetly
Say I’m not a disappointment
I am not a disappointment
