1.	The winter air crept up behind us, 03:41	lyrics
The winter air crept up behind us, You seemed startled so I pulled you close. Your words rode the tip of your tongue, Like the snowflakes on the roof above, Tumbling down, graceful yet awkward, A silence has consumed this house.
2.	Bitter and brisk, fierce yet still. 03:06	lyrics
I heard the door open from our upstairs bedroom. Your voice echoed throughout our house. But when I rushed downstairs, You weren't there And I was standing by myself. I guess it was just a dream. Your footsteps are fading away, With the home you’re leaving behind. My heart beats only for you, But you’re not here anymore. Just give me a sign that you’ll be home, And we’ll be together again. This house is not my home, This house is not our home. I heard the door open from our upstairs bedroom. Your voice echoed though out our house.
3.	The skies became grey and your hand cold, 02:11	lyrics
You made the same mistakes your mother made at your age, And I would be lying if I said I expected any different from you. The burden you carry is your own mistake. I’d like to but I can’t feel sorry for you.
4.	And I was left standing in this house alone. 03:25	lyrics
Our voices echo throughout this house, this grave where we choose to lay. Dust and gravel fill my mouth as you build your bed of flowers. Drifting apart in this once small sea, We’re drifting apart in this once small sea. Goodbye has never felt so right.
