If Winter Ends Bright Eyes

[Verse 1]
I dreamt of a fever, one that would cure me of this cold winter-set heart
With heat to melt these frozen tears, burned with reasons as to carry on
Into these twisted months I plunge without a light to follow
But I swear that I would follow anything, just get me out of here

[Pre-Chorus]
But you get six months to adapt and you get two more to leave town
And in the event that you do adapt, we still might not want you around

[Chorus]
But I fell for the promise of a life with a purpose
But I know that that's impossible now
And so I drink to stay warm and to kill selected memories
'Cause I just can't think anymore about that or about her tonight

[Pre-Chorus]
And I give myself three days to feel better or else I swear I'll drive right off a fucking cliff
'Cause if I can't learn to make myself feel better, how can I expect anyone else to give a shit?

[Chorus]
And I scream for the sunlight or a car to take me anywhere
Just get me past this dead and eternal snow
'Cause I swear that I'm dying slowly, but it's happening
And if the perfect spring is waiting somewhere
