Take Me Home

Well the winter comes a-callin'
Like an old forgotten friend
And because we can't ignore it
We just smile and let it in

And we sit around the fire
And we wonder how we've changed
Since the last time snow eclipsed us
Since the last time north winds raged

Oh we feel so inundated
By the slush and by the past
We get comfortable with good-enough
But then we get bored so fast

And in twelve months we can't tell
If it's just settling or it's fate
So we give ourselves another twelve
To sit back and just wait

What does it mean if I make you laugh
What does it mean if you stop my fall
What does it mean if we talk for hours
Or if we don't talk at all

What does it mean if you call my name
What does it mean if we're alone
What does it mean if you take my hand
Or if you take me home

When the winter comes a-calling
It gets hard to leave our beds
So we pull the covers tighter
And we feign sleep instead

When the sky hangs low and grey
We keep our questions far from scorn
For the fear of scaring off
That one thing that keeps us warm

What does it mean if I make you laugh
What does it mean if you stop my fall
What does it mean if we talk for hours
Or if we don't talk at all

What does it mean if you call my name
What does it mean if we're alone
What does it mean if you take my hand
Or if you take me home
Take me home
