I was moving to Florida.

Then she came along.

lyrics

October - Gwade
=============
I woke up shivering
And watched my breath spill from my mouth
And kicked myself with a frozen foot
For long ago not moving south
And I thought of just what kept me here
Instead of sleeping on the sand
I gave up cool margueritas
For the warmth of your hand

And I tried everything
To keep the fire hot
Thousands of candles to make the inside
As warm as the snow was not
And I thought I thought of everything
To make our bond an airtight seal
I could change the climate
(but I couldn't) Change how you feel

(Your) Hot hands
(And) Cold heart
Were touching me softly but
Tearing me apart
Don't start
(Because I'll) Never be warm again

I guess I should've seen
The cold reality
The first time I saw ice in your eyes
As they burned into me
But despite all the heated dialogue-
Frozen logic, frozen views
I still saw the warmth inside
The coldest part of you

(Your) Hot hands
(And) Cold heart
Were touching me softly but
Tearing me apart
Don't start
(Because I'll) Never be warm again

Sometimes
You have to face the cold, hard fact
That the one you shared so much warmth with
Is never coming back
(And) All I ever wanted is
The feeling of your warm, wet kiss
And to know our steamy promises
Were more than just hot air

I don't care if I never
See the sun again
It only makes me shiver
And want to return to when
The leaves were falling colors
A million unfilled balloons
In the beginning of October
I never saw the end of June

(Your) Hot hands
(And) Cold heart
Were touching me softly but
Tearing me apart
Don't start
(Because I'll) Never be warm again
Never be warm again
Never be warm again
