Wintering

Yeah, it's just like– it should start
It just– it should just come straight in
And just be like

She walks down the stairs, feeling herself
Lookin' like she just won a court case
He's got a funny way of using the same four chords for every song he makes
And he's called Bill and he plays with words like a skill
Yeah, he's pretty great
He said his official friend died 'cause of a fish he ate

Yeah, she's called Hannah and she plays the Joanna
Grade eight but she's got no soul
John's obsessed with fat ass and he's ten years old
Oh, Dad's an Otis Redding at a wedding type guy
With the best voice you ever heard
He said, "Give me a date I can work on, my heart hurts"

I get home on the 23rd
I drive up on the 23rd

And I bumped into Julie in the co-op
She asked how the family's been
I said, "Alex is a sculptor and Olivia's been a vegan since ten
While Vin wears dresses while Debbie coalesces
In a fleece that doesn't work
And I'll be givin' my chair to my mum 'cause her back hurts"

I get home on the 23rd (yeah, the snare rim sounds good)
Yeah, I drive up on the 23rd (yeah, yeah)

Now Mum's not a fan of that line about her back
She said it makes her sound frumpy and old
I said, "Woman, you are 64 years old"
Now stop the percussion, I wanna have a discussion
And it's Christmas so this is gonna be a nightmare
I just came for the stuffin', not to argue 'bout nothin' but mark my words

I'll be home on the 23rd (yeah, the snare rim sounds good)
Yeah, I drive up on the 23rd
Oh, I come home on the 23rd (yeah)
