Snow At Eleven A.M.

Tell me your darkest secret
And I'll tell you mine
'Cause I've been safe for so long
I've forgotten what it's like

To have someone wait for you
To trip and make a mistake

And it feels like I'm the only one who knows
What it's like not knowing at all
I've got that strength now
I knock on the gates of Eden from the inside

You doubted when you were right
You believed when you were wrong
You never knew the right words
But you still remember that song

And when you're away from the porcelain eyes
A minute is all you need

To realize that when you took the bus from town
At eleven a.m. this day
You'd stared him down the soul
You'd recognized that sneer from a summer's day

So now you're in the right place
Where you always wanted to be
But no one ever told you that
It's always snowing in Eden

(It's always snowing in Eden)
It's always snowing in Eden

Jim sets the pace, hears a whistle on the tracks
(Hears a whistle on the tracks)
But riding on a sin he ain't coming back
(He ain't coming back)

But I remember how we used to make fun
Of the man behind the wheels

Oh but ain't he some kind of deity as you're sitting in the backseat
(As you're sitting in the backseat)
Telling him to go faster, to take you as far as he can
And keep going

Oh Jim, how can pain be subtle?
How can people remember one's name?
How can the notion of a long lost friend
Seem so worthy of missing until you see them?

(It's always snowing in Eden)
It's always snowing in Eden

Someday I'll know all your secrets
And I'll be where I wanted to be
But I won't run away
'Cause I'll know that it is snowing over in Eden

(It's always snowing in Eden)
It's always snowing in Eden
