This Winter from Ever Upward by Teacups

We played house like we were to be wed
Leaving notes and sharing a bed
It was easier than the real thing

Breaking promises and making plans
Getting lost beneath the covers again

I wish we'd never had to leave

This winter
We could sleep til the sun is high
Our hands like frozen leaves
Fallen by your side
As I shiver
you'd pull me closer still
Til I'd close my eyes
In our little room by the riverside

Drawing faces on the window pane
Looking out at the fallen rain
While you'd hold me and tell me
We were staying

So we drew the blinds and we lit the fire
Whispered things that we both desired
Only to find we coulda had it all this time

You and me
In our little room by the riverside

This winter
We could sleep
Til the sun is high
Our hands like frozen leaves
Fallen by your side
As I shiver
You'd pull me closer still
Til I'd close my eyes
In our little room
By the riverside
