THE LONGEST WINTER
WRITTEN BY: THE RESCUES
THIS IS THE LONGEST WINTER
THAT ANYONE CAN REMEMBER
WE SHUT OURSELVES INSIDE OUR SEPARATE ROOMS
ALL OF THE LOCKS ARE FROZEN
THE WINDOWS THEY WON’T OPEN
WHEN APRIL COMES WE WON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO
DON’T WANNA GIVE MYSELF AWAY
DON’T WANNA MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE
AND IF YOU WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH
DON’T WANT TO LOVE YOU BUT I DO
SO NOW YOU KNOW
SOMETHING JUST WON’T LET ME LET YOU GO
WE KEEP OUR WORDS PROTECTED
AWARE OF THEIR SHARP EDGES
WE HOLD THEM GENTLY LIKE WE’VE BEEN CUT BEFORE
SILENCES ARE TELLING
THE ICE IS SLOWLY MELTING
BUT I’M STILL AFRAID TO SHOW UP AT YOUR DOOR
DON’T WANNA GIVE MYSELF AWAY
DON’T WANNA MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE
AND IF YOU WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH
DON’T WANT TO LOVE YOU BUT I DO
SO NOW YOU KNOW
SOMETHING JUST WON’T LET ME LET YOU GO
DON’T WANNA GIVE YOURSELF AWAY
DON’T WANNA MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE
IF YOU CAN SPARE A LITTLE TRUTH
AND YOU LOVE ME, SAY YOU DO
I NEED TO KNOW
CAUSE I’M ABOUT TO LET YOU LET ME GO
OH BUT I DON’T WANT TO LET YOU LET ME GO
