What is it, baby?
Why can't you spend this long winter with me?
I'm not crazy anymore
Why can't you feel it?
I'm digging out from under the ice and snow
Where the big drifts blow
Lock your door

But one day, spring, it will come
We'll see crocuses pushing up
Through the mud to reach for the sun
Flyin' squirrels around, digging for nuts
When the turtles come up
Then winter is done
Spring has a smile for everyone

And in the heat of the summertime
We'll go get breakfast and ride our bikes
Down to the edge of the riverside
And let the afternoon hour slide
And when the summer has reached the end
We'll talk about how to spend the fall in love

What is it, best friend?
Why can't you love me
More like I love you?
Then we wouldn't be through like we are
I get this feeling sometimes
Like maybe you and me
Will be last ones picked
For the kickbox tracks or the yard

I don't know what else to say
We do the best that we can
Every day the same cliché
We can be with the boys, they'll say what they'll say
And if we can't find a way to start our own day
Forever, winter is here to stay

There won't be heat of the summertime
We won't get breakfast and ride our bikes
Won't leave the edge of the riverside
Won't let the afternoon hour slide
Won't be the summer that reached the end
Won't talk about how to spend the fall in love

Baby, can we sit in a tree
Above the water, are we
Just a couple of the countries and the daughters
Saving angel, can you, would you wait on me?
Why should I, why should we
Try to hide if it's just
Who we are, maybe we shouldn't be so frightened
We're brave enough, we're in love enough
To put this fear away
And talk about how to spend the fall in love

Spend the fall in love
Spend the fall in love
Spend the fall in love
Spend the fall in love
Spend the fall in love
Spend the fall

Spend the fall in love
Spend the fall in love
Spend the fall in love
Spend the fall in love
Spend the fall in love
Spend the fall in love
Spend the fall in love
Spend the fall in love
Spend the fall in love
Spend the fall in love
Spend the fall in
