Snow
U.N. Lyrics

You just stepped out my car for the last time
You have left my car for the final time and it marks the end of our relationship.

I didn’t know it then and I’m not sure that it would matter
I was unaware that it was the end and it may not make a difference if I knew before.

I'm just being honest, always guilty of that crime
I tend to be truthful, and sometimes it gets me into trouble.

Cause you always want advice but couldn’t hear above the chatter
You often sought advice, but it seemed difficult for you to hear amidst all the noise.

And look
Now, consider this.

I wanna tell it like it was
I want to recount the truth of what happened between us.

Cause every time we kissed you was just chasin a buzz
Each time we kissed, it seemed like you were only seeking a temporary high.

And you were lookin in my eyes but I was lookin above
While you were gazing into my eyes, my attention was elsewhere.

Yeah you had butterflies in your gut think I swallowed a dove
You had a sense of anticipation, while I had a feeling of having eaten something strange.

See we wanted to be together way more than most
We desired to be with each other more than the majority of people do.

But the times that were together felt like holdin a ghost
Even though we tried to spend time together, it felt like I was holding something intangible.

And if I’m being honest we fucked way more than we spoke
Honestly, we had more physical intimacy than meaningful conversations.

So you’ll find I have some trouble stepping away from that trope
Therefore, I find myself having difficulty breaking away from that pattern of behavior.

Which is why a week later I’ll find you back in my bed
This is the reason why I know I'll see you back in my bed a week later.

And then a week after that you’re still giving me head
Even a week later, you are still performing sexual acts on me.

And my mom starts to wonder if I should get back with my ex
My mother starts suggesting that I get back with my former partner.

And normally my mom is right but I think I’d rather be dead
Usually my mother is right, but in this case, I would prefer death.

You see I think I mostly just needed someone to talk to
Honestly, I think I needed someone to speak to more than anything.

And sure occasionally I’d like someone to fuck too
While I also wanted the occasional physical intimacy as well.

But you were the first one of us to say that I love you
However, you were the first one between us to confess your love.

So that’s why I’m having trouble figuring out that that’s not true
That's why I'm having difficulty accepting that confession as untrue.

Oh
Oh,

I know
I understand.

Somethings must come and go
Some things are temporary and will inevitably end.

But I was hoping I might find something sure to hold
However, I was hoping to find something that I could hold onto with certainty.

And I know
I realize.

That It’s time for you to go
It is time for you to leave.

So I’ll just be the boy in Houston waiting for the snow
Therefore, I'll be the person in Houston, wondering when the snow will come.

Look I know that you heard me
Listen, I know that you heard me.

Just leaving me on read like you want to desert me
Your behavior seems like you are purposely ignoring me, as if you want to abandon me.

But this wasn’t one sided I don’t care what they said
However, things weren't one-sided, contrary to what others may think.

That’s why I’m in someone else’s bed even though things were working
That's why I'm with someone else, even though things were going smoothly.

In a change of a frame things were flipped on their head
Things were turned upside down when life circumstances changed.

And like a moth to a flame this was soon to be dead
Just like a moth's attraction to a flame, our relationship was soon to end.

And the moth sure enough did everything right
The moth in this analogy, did everything correctly.

It just had no way of knowing that it chased the wrong light
However, it had no way of knowing that it was pursuing the wrong source of light.

You couldn’t wait to see what 2018 had up her sleeve
You were looking forward to what 2018 had in store for us.

And less then a month later turns out you would leave
Unfortunately, in less than a month, you had to leave.

But it’s fine and I mean it
But it's okay, and I am sincere in my statement.

Cause ultimately
Because, in the end,

this things would be the things to inspire me
These events are what I will draw inspiration from.

And growing up in the south I’m prepared for the heat
Growing up in the south has equipped me to handle the hot weather.

Yet we complain every summer a cycle doomed to repeat
However, every summer, we still complain about the heat, stuck in a never-ending vicious cycle.

Then the wind caught your door as you got up from the seat
The wind caught your door as you stood up from your seat.

And we took it as a sign a final sigh of relief
We interpreted it as a sign, a last breath of relief.
