winter

Moved away to college, you know how the story goes
We were too young, too far, couldn't hold me close
"We won't be the cliché, we could make it work"
That's the line that we say before we get hurt

But you're home for the holidays, maybe you could stay
Just a little longer 'fore you gotta get away
Tell your roommate, "Watch the plants", you could cancel all your plans
Let's give it one more chance

So I might have to make you change your flight
You might have to stay one extra night
Well, maybe it the season, baby, give me just a reason
You could tell me that you love me
But don't tell me that you're leavin'

So, baby, could you stay for the winter
But love like the summer tonight? Yeah
And maybe we could live by the fire
It's hot like the heat of July, yeah

'Cause I'm sad that it's cold, but I'm happy you're home
Now that I know I'm not better alone
So, baby, could you stay for the winter
But love like the summer tonight? Yeah

All I wanna do is hold hands, baby, we could slow dance
I don't wanna waste our life away
I don't wanna be a old man, lookin' back like
"Oh man, why'd I just move on and never try to make

Our love work in the first place?" Remember on the first date?
Now I'm reminiscin' like, "I miss it, is it worth the wait?"
But you'll be gone 'til Christmas, only thing that's on my wishlist
Only issue is logistics, can't commit with all the distance

So I might have to make you change your flight
You might have to stay one extra night
Well, maybe it the season, baby, give me just a reason
You could tell me that you love me
But don't tell me that you're leavin'

So, baby, could you stay for the winter
But love like the summer tonight? Yeah
And maybe we could live by the fire
It's hot like the heat of July, yeah

'Cause I'm sad that it's cold, but I'm happy you're home
Now that I know I'm not better alone
So, baby, could you stay for the winter
But love like the summer tonight? Yeah
