Duration: P00H04M41S

about

The crisp fall air, and firewood burning. Alex, walking through frost, contemplates past love. Was it even good? Is it worth revisiting? Based on her words & actions, did she even love me to start with? In any case, that was then. The time is now, and I must move on.

lyrics

On the phone, I’m all alone
Must have wandered far from home
Please excuse, you were my muse
But all these years, my love abused.

And now in one quick glance
The promise of a second chance
A vision from the past
You never finish last
A moment sweet
This endless street
A chance at love to repeat

But that was then, and this is now
Then’s too good to be true
That was then, and this is now
Now’s not what I thought I knew

Frozen feelings find
The truth be told and unwind
The air is fresh and free
And melts all misery
And if this is so
Then you must let go
Keep your troubles buried in the snow.

On this floor I’ll say no more
Please let heal this open sore
Please excuse, you were my muse
But all these years, my love refused.

The love that I thought was you
Both then and now are through
