How It Looks Like Snow

When the light turns green
Then you'll know what I mean
Just look at the car in front
See it move

When the light turns green
Then we will be free
To drive within the bounds
That you set so long ago
While you were buckled in the seat
Of a plane that was going too low

And then the trees turned green
And we ate lima beans
And Brussels sprouts
And okra

Then the trees turned green
And we took off our jeans
In favor of Polaroids
With frames so white and bare
We photographed our patchy tans
When we couldn't decide what to wear

How it looks like snow
When it begins too slow
When all the years have passed you by

How it looks like snow
When it begins too slow
When all the years

If you look at me
Then I know what you see
Because you don't need to show
What's on your mind

And if you look at me
Then I know you'll be
Tied up inside your room
And never coming home
You'll just stay right there
Like a face without a moon

Give me one more chance
Let me show your hands
How to pick broken locks
It's not too hard

So just one more chance
To let me fix your pants
There is a hole right there
It runs from your thigh
To just below your knee
It's really quite a tear

How it looks like snow
When it begins too slow
When all the years have passed you by

How it looks like snow
When it begins too slow
When all the years have passed you by

How it looks like snow
When it begins to slow
When all the years
Have passed you by
