the first time i saw snow
was through the glow of a neon star
i could see from my window
if i had understood the scope of
what i did not know
would i have
been so quick to fall
for things that come and go
so
you seem sad today
i'm so weird i was crying at the sunrise this morning you said
you turn around backwards on my couch
you are so far away
and i watch you watching snowflakes melting
on the window pane
close up your heart like a shop
turn the key in the lock
shove your hands into your pockets
stand alone on the sidewalk
i have lost you again
i can't find you in this traffic jam
and through the glow of street lamps
snowflakes carefully descend
like the first time i saw snow
anyway you say
everything's changed
no one needs me anymore
you indicate a bird through the window pane
as if that explains
it cuts the sky high
up above the power lines
sometimes you are grounded
and then sometimes you just fly away
close up your heart like a shop
turn the key in the lock
shove your hands into your pockets
stand alone on the sidewalk
i have lost you again
i can't find you in this traffic jam
and through the glow of street lamps
snowflakes carefully descend
like the first time i saw snow
