Wanting and Regret - Jason Anderson

There's wanting and regret

The setting back of clocks

Forgetting and nostalgia

And dusk at 4 pm

There's detachment and resolve

The poignancy of winter

The skins we shed and ones we grow

There are scabs

There's forgiveness and relief

The illusion of indifference

A box of notes and keepsakes

I can't seem to discard

So come on down to my basement room

Let's page through this thesaurus

And find a better synonym

For loss

We'll share a glass of lemonade

And go through some old photographs

And understand that love doesn't die

It just changes

Well there're hours and there're days

There's longing and second guessing

An advent calendar's tiny doors

Mark progress and control

I'm coming to a point

Of resignment and acceptance

A sort of hibernation

A cocoon

So bury me in snow

Set aside my Christmas presents

Wake me up on valentines day

And we can try it all again

We can try it all again

We can

We can

Yeah konw we can

We

We

We can try it all again

We can try it all again

Oh oh
