Winter Solstice

About a year ago You took down my soul Calling it true love Mm-hm I was far from home Far from all I'd known Lonely and more than a little gullible Ho-oh-oh 'Tis the season that scares me the most Winter solstice It's about damn time That we turn things around And let the days grow bright Through exhaustion I've been holding on tight It took a toll on me And now I need I need some light I need some light I need some quiet time I watched you biking by From my balcony You didn't look, but I I know you saw me The whole street was quiet Only wind in the trees They were whispering "Yeah, we know everything" Ho-oh-oh 'Tis the season that haunts me the most I'm confronted with all that I've loved and lost I'm confronted with my choice to stay Alone Winter solstice It's about damn time That we turn things around And let the days grow bright Through exhaustion I've been holding on tight It took a toll on me And now I need I need some light This year, I'll make it sweet I'll light a fire just for me To be better to myself To protect me, to appreciate All the tears and all the heartache Every lesson paving my way To be present to the moment Where the words remain unspoken When I thought you left me broken I let my heart break right open Winter solstice It's about damn time (we know everything) That we turn things around And let the days grow bright (we know everything) Through exhaustion I've been holding on tight (we know everything) It took a toll on me And now I need I need some light To be better to myself To protect me, to appreciate All the tears and all the heartache Every lesson paving my way To be present to the moment Where the words remain unspoken When I thought you had left me broken I let my heart break right open
