lyrics

About a year ago
You took down my soul
Calling it true love
Mhm
I was far from home
Far from all I’d known
Lonely and more than a little gullible

Ho ho ho
Tis the season that scares me the most

Winter solstice
It’s about damn time
That we turn things around
And let the days grow bright
Through exhaustion
I’ve been holding on tight
It took a toll on me
And now I need
I need some light
I need some quiet time
I need some light
I need some quiet time

I watched you biking by
From my balcony
You didn’t look but I…
I know you saw me
The whole street was quiet
Only wind in the trees
They were whispering
„Yeah we know everything“

Ho ho ho
Tis the season that haunts me the most
I’m confronted with all that I’ve loved and lost
I’m confronted with my choice to stay
Alone

Winter solstice
It’s about damn time
That we turn things around
And let the days grow bright
Through exhaustion
I’ve been holding on tight
It took a toll on me
And now I need
I need some light

This year I’ll make it sweet
I’ll light a fire just for me

To be better
To myself
To protect me
To appreciate
All the tears and
All the heartache
Every lesson paving my way
To be present
To the moment
Where the words remain unspoken
When I thought you had left me broken
I let my heart break right open

Winter solstice
It’s about damn time
(we know everything)
That we turn things around
And let the days grow bright
(we know everything)
Through exhaustion
I’ve been holding on tight
(we know everything)
It took a toll on me
And now I need
I need some light

To be better
To myself
To protect me
To appreciate
All the tears and
All the heartache
Every lesson paving my way
To be present
To the moment
Where the words remain unspoken
When I thought you had left me broken
I let my heart break right open
