First Thursday - Miles to Go Before I Sleep - Demo Lyrics

Your scarf feels warm wrapped round my throat
But that alone won't melt the snow
Your breath slips out to fog the air
And in my coat I find a tear

Our tracks are falling side by side
Our tracks are broken in their stride
With you above I see the stars
And they don't seem to be too far

My hold is firm around your hands
And yet your grip falls through like sand
So slip inside my cabin
High up on this mountain

The snow is starting to fall down
And there's a crack in my gold crown
Inside the fire crackles warm
And your reckless scarf's been torn

I love your hair, the way it falls
As you shudder off your shawl
The way the flames spark in your eyes
While mine have shriveled up and died

Your smile's never been so bright
But I can't seem to see the light
Please stay in my cabin
High up on this mountain

My arms cannot wrap tighter
Yet you're still growing lighter
I need more in this cabin
High up on this mountain

Oh sometimes the snow gets kinda deep
And it feels like ground cannot be reached
No matter how much heat you're givin' me
I can't shake the cold of this cabin in my dreams

They say you feel pain in your heart
But it's my bones that seem to scar
You left the door open again
Now all the cold air will get in
