Late night talk shows

I’ve heard about you on late-night talk shows
read about you in all my books
I waited for you in sun and snowstorms
without knowing how you would look

and God, you shocked me like no one else did
oh God, you had me that Easter night
end of the world could not forbid it
so many others have certainly tried


snowflake in the storm
melting against all odds
I’ve heard I don’t stand a chance
so burn through my ice and go

burn all my second thoughts,
run from my deep desires
ice in my heart melts
someone set it on fire


you start the engine and roll down the window
and I can’t help but get so tense
”you should come by sometime this winter”
oh I forget in your eyes all sense

I wish that someone prepared me for that
a life jacket for ocean eyes
I wouldn’t take back a single second
and I don’t care if it's wrong or right

no late-night talk shows explained such concepts
no books I read could even come near
no one can save you when comes your snowstorm
so full of craving so full of fear


snowflake in the storm
melting against all odds
I’ve heard I don’t stand a chance
so burn through my ice and go

burn all my second thoughts
run from my deep desires
ice in my heart melts
someone set it on fire

someone broke through my bones
wrote inside of my ribcage ”liar”
stay in my thoughts
face all my deep desires

snowflake in the storm
melting against all odds
I’ve heard I don’t stand a chance
so burn through my ice and go

burn all my second thoughts
run from my deep desires
ice in my heart melts
someone set it on fire
