Just let me catch my breath
And pick up my scattered pieces
I hope you know that I've
Been working myself to death
Roaming around
As a ghost on the beaches
I don't want to be this
I'd rather be someplace else
Fair enough, you called my bluff
It's obvious things are getting rough
Without the sun on our backs
Winter comes, then I go
I just had to let you know
Sticking around just ain't my thing
I never could
So I never would
So don't look for me
I've been buried under years of sand and snow
Where the waves start to glow
It's a place that I hate to know
I guess I'm found
I've worn out my welcome
So I lie and wait for the day to let me go
I know I'm hard to love
I know it's not enough
To let you know I'm trying
I won't have to sweat
You won't have to shiver
But you'll be lonely in the winter I know
You'll be lonely in the winter I know
Fair enough, you called my bluff
It's obvious things are getting rough
Without the sun on our backs
Winter comes, then I go
I just had to let you know
Sticking around just ain't my thing
I never could
So I never would
And never will
I know I'm hard to love
I know it's not enough
To let you know I'm trying
I won't have to sweat
You won't have to shiver
But you'll be lonely in the winter I know
