lyrics

We're just like one another
Thinking more than ought
About people who claim
To not care what we thought

We'll form congregations in circles
Declare our love for what we know
And we're just the same
When we're together
And less the same alone

But we sank into our rituals
And sewed ourselves in prose
We sat in outside our cardboards
Leaving only once it snowed
When nothing grows

We're just like one another
Thinking more than we ought
About all the words we threw away
And no one caught

Knitting secrets into sweaters
To keep our shaky conscience warm
And it's just a shame
When we're together
I still feel so alone

But we put away our summer clothes
And drew the curtains closed
We sat inside our cupboards
Shrouded in our winter coats
Where no one knows

But everyone loves a mystery
That can't be solved
And only souls with gaping holes
Don't need the seasons to show
The world does change
And rearrange

But we're just so sick of summer
Wanting warmth from someone else
But there's just no way to insist
Upon the weather turning cold

But we put away our summer clothes
And drew the curtains closed
We sat inside our cupboards
Shrouded in our winter coats
Where no one knows
