They're shoveling snow outside my apartment
And it sounds like a dog breathing down my neck
I half awake at dawn to the alarm
I haven't even opened both eyes yet
Last night I drained a bottle
Woke up fully clothed lying across my bed
But I gotta go to work so I will get up
Take a shower, clear my head
(Somebody has to pay the rent)
As snowdrifts form around me I remember Hampshire county
All the iced up roads of Hadley, nights I thought I would forget
When I was younger my weeks were more unencumbered
Now I think back to that winter when we met
Those days when it got dark by five
I couldn't breathe you couldn't drive
I would meet you at the bus stop
By the Walmart in my Honda
And good god by the summer we were having fun
Stay up till four wake up at one
And nurse our twin hangovers
Pouring whiskey in our coca-cola
Now I can't think straight
When I get twisted
Never half as much fun drinking
As it was back then
And by the time you hear this
We'll have gone another season
Without speaking
Time slips on
We'll never be that young again
We'll never be that young again
We'll never be that young again
Young again, young again
If I'm home for the weekend
Maybe we can try a redo
Maybe we can get wasted
But we'll never feel brand new
And if you come out for the weekend
Maybe we can have a breakthrough
Maybe we can make changes
But we'll never feel brand new
