[Verse 1: Hayden Forbes]
Past month 11, stranger things
After fall, before the spring
Young and fun, do anything
Now I'm grown up, how can it be?
(Man it su*ks)
Who would’ve thought after all the times I'd explore
I'd be stuck up in the floor
Seeming to need more
Playing a keyboard
With feelings that he poured cause
This makes me scream Lord
“Is this an evil scheme or…?”
Is it my own admission?
Now I don’t wanna seem sappy
It's just that it's easy to smile
But it's harder to be happy
(Man it su*ks)
Wish I could take a time machine back, so an adult I could finally know
How I used to find bliss, without music like this
Just let my cares go, laying in the snow
[Chorus 1: Tabita Rotondi & Hayden Forbes]
Now I'm laying in the snow
Just thinking about my life
Tryna let my cares go
But my thoughts are too loud
(Man it su*ks)
All I can think of
Are the hurt and my pain
Things I lost along the way
Left behind in my past
Now I'm here by myself
Feeling kinda down
Don't know how to cope
Overthinking everything
All that I ask
Is some peace for my soul
While I'm laying here alone
Drowning thoughts in the snow
[Verse 2: Hayden Forbes]
Now I remember when I would go out at recess and see all the snow plowed to the grass line
My friends and I would go out on so many adventures
Power Rangers, Dragons ’til class time
(Man it su*ks)
Now I guess I’m already in all of this debt?
As a senior, I'm not even in college for another few months
Can’t go back, it was what it was
Thought I was strong like a mighty oak, now I'm too stumped
Got to give the government credit though
Don't start
Cause I'm being literal
Gonna die broke like Mozart
That’s classical, quite interesting
Did you get the joke, too time investing?
You know what? Just doesn't matter anymore
Time to grow older and see what is in store
[Chorus 2: Tabita Rotondi]
Now I'm laying in the snow
Just thinking ‘bout my life
Tryna let my cares go
Feeling broken inside
Is it too much to ask
For some peace for my soul
While I'm laying here alone
Getting lost in the snow?
[Bridge: Hayden Forbes with Tabita Rotondi]
(Oh, oh, oh)
Take me back, take me back, take me back
How can I feel guilty saying that?
(Oh, oh, oh)
How can I feel guilty saying that?!
(Oh, oohhh, oohhh)
C'mon man, that's what you wanted the most!
Maybe it's time to move on
I've been nostalgic for too long
Time to work on a new song
I've been nostalgic for too long!
(Oh, oohhh, oh, oohhh)
(Oh, oohhh, oohhh)
[Verse 3: Hayden Forbes]
Now I'm moving out, house is bare
Cleaning out my closet, where's my snare?
There
I remember so much
But now I don't seem to care
(Man it su*ks)
Back then the lights were on
Mom says it's time for me to rest
Instead, I'm up all night
Listening to “Bennie and the Jets”
Look for something, but nothing!
Who needs a rhyme anymore?
But then there's a glisten of hope
A snowflake fell, couldn't grasp what I was seeing
Had my head in the clouds too long, I gasp at the sight
It was so relieving
I never had faith for the aether
Or something to truly believe in
But now I know that snow angels can really defeat the cold-hearted demons
[Outro: Hayden Forbes & Tabita Rotondi]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oohhh, oohhh
Oh, oohhh, oh, oohhh
