[Intro]

[Verse]

I think it was a winter evening twelve years ago

You called me

Wanted me to come over

Come over to see

[Chorus]

There was nothing special about it

That was just how you were

[Verse]

You often called, wanted me to come over

When You had something to show

Something for me to see

[Verse]

You had felt lonely, bought a home at auction, and wanted to feel at home, at someone else

To get away for a while

[Chorus]

There was nothing special about it. It was just like as usual, that was how you were

[Verse]

You wanted to show a mountain of boxes

Show an anchor, three blankets, and an electric cat. A full garage

How you felt, at home

[Chorus]

Wanted to give me a snow suit as a gift

Wish me good luck

Wish me a pleasant journey

Wanted to see me go

[Verse]

But I had never had a longing for the north

Never slept at a mountain lodge

Had always been afraid of snow and

[Chorus]

You gave me a gift, a snow suit

Said good luck

Wished me a pleasant journey

That was just how you were

[Pre-Chorus]

And there was nothing special about it

Because you, you had always had a streak of madness Glimmering around your mouth

[Verse]

And now, as a twilight swiftly sailed by in your eye, I understood

That I might be on the edge of a beginning, and now, as surely in the middle of an end

[Chorus]

There was nothing special about it

That was just how you were

You gave me a snow suit as a gift

Wished me a pleasant journey

You wanted to see me go
