February Lyrics[Verse 1]
I threw your keys in the water, I looked back
They'd frozen halfway down in the ice
They froze up so quickly, the keys and their owners
Even after the anger, it all turned silent
And the everyday turned solitary
So we came to February
[Verse 2]
First we forgot where we planted those bulbs last year
And then we forgot that we planted at all
Then we forgot what plants are altogеther
And I blamed you for my freezing and forgetting
And thе nights were cold and dark and scary
So we came to February
[Bridge]
And I think Christmas was a long red glare
Shot up like a warning, we gave presents without cards
And then the snow
And then the snow came, we were always out shoveling
And we'd drop to sleep exhausted
And we'd wake up and it's snowing
[Verse 3]
And February was so long that it lasted into March
Found us walking a path alone together
You stopped and pointed and you said "That's a crocus"
And I said "What's a crocus?" and you said "It's a flower"
I tried to remember and I said "What's a flower?"
You said "I still love you"
[Verse 4]
The leaves were turning as we drove to the hardware store
My new lover made me keys to the house
And when we got back, well we just started chopping
'Cause you never know how next year will be
And we'll gather all our arms can carry
I have lost to February
