Windows Down In Winter

You sent a picture of your new skateboard
From the sober house where you stayed
Trying to resurrect that old passion of yours
To keep the cravings away
You'd reach out every so often
And disappear off again
I always had to keep myself at a distance
So I'd protect myself from falling back in

I was waiting for you
I was praying for you
I was hoping that you would come on this side
I was waiting for you
There was no getting through
Ya nothings worked I've tried

I guess it's still your antidote
Will you ever be freed
Trapped in your inner turmoil
While every time you tried to convince me
Yeah
You're done for good I get it oh
Ya I've put down my pleas
As I wait and wait
Or pray and pray until that day
Or until you cease

You know the reason we became friends
And were in the same boat
We were feeling depressed
Felt lost and alone
So we found how to cure it
Back then didn't know
The type of hold it would have and
You still haven't let go

During the dead of winter
Had the windows rolled down
I stripped down to a t-shirt
Feeling nauseous as hell
That was just a taste of years to come
Kept on falling
Hit a bottom
You're still out there huh

I guess it's still your antidote
Will you ever be freed
Trapped in your inner turmoil
While every time you tried to convince me
Yeah
You're done for good I get it oh
Ya I've put down my pleas
As I wait and wait
Or pray and pray until that day
Or until you cease

Help, you said you want it
But the fear has you held down though
Hell, you want out of it
But you cannot sit with self no

Help, you said you want it
But the fear has you held down though
Hell
Hell

Ya I was waiting for you
I was praying for you
I was hoping that you would come on this side
Ya I was waiting for you
There was no getting through
So I guess now it's goodbye
