The Hat
michaelson Lyrics

I knitted you a hat all blue and gold
I made you a special hat with my own two hands, using blue and gold colors.

To keep your ears warm from the Binghamton cold
I made the hat to keep your ears warm during the cold weather in Binghamton.

It was my first one and it was too small
Unfortunately, the hat I made was my first attempt, so it ended up being too small.

It didn't fit you at all, but you wore it just the same
Even though the hat didn't fit you well, you wore it anyways to show your appreciation for the effort I put into making it.

I remember the first time we danced
I have a special memory of the first time we danced together.

I remember tunneling through the snow like ants
Another fond memory I have is when we tunneled through the snow like ants (perhaps as a fun activity during winter).

What I don't recall is why I said
However, there is one thing I cannot remember, which is why I said what I did next.

"I simply can't sleep in this tiny bed with you anymore"
At some point, I told you that I could no longer sleep in a small bed with you.

I should tell you that you were my first love
I feel like I should admit to you that you were the first person I ever loved.

So it's Christmas time, it's been three years
Now it's been three years since that happened, and it's Christmas time again.

And someone else is knitting things for your ears
I know that you have someone else in your life now who is making things for you, which is okay.

I have come to learn I'll only see you interrupting my dreams at night
I have realized that now the only way you come into my life is through my dreams, interrupting my peace at night.

And that's alright. And that's alright And that's alright. And that's alright
But somehow, I have come to terms with it, and it's alright. It's really okay now.

We were seventeen again
In my dreams, we are both seventeen again, reliving our youth together.
