about

Special thanks to Skyler rubin who played the beautiful bass and guitar you hear on this track, and thanks to my sister for giving me the last ten dollars I needed to buy the ukulele that you hear on this track, when I was fourteen. Special thanks to my boyfriend for being wonderful and supportive (and cute) and to Steve lack for spending hours working on this upcoming record with me and to shitty ex-boyfriends all over the world who don't give you your things back.

lyrics

Verse 1
Baby, please, don't go
It's getting cold it's starting to snow
It's too bizarre the love that we had
And I'd give anything to get it all back
And I will do, anything it takes to, make it seem okay that you went away

Chorus
I'm sorry, I didn't know
and now it's started to snow, but
this weather would be much better
If I hadn't let you keep my damn sweater

Verse 2
You like songs without choruses and
drinking out of coffee cups
The things I loved about you, are the things that
weren't enough
I just wish I could remember, all the things
All the time in December, when things weren't so tough

Chorus
I'm sorry I didn't know
And now it's starting to snow but
this weather would be much better
If I hadn't let you keep my damn sweater

Bridge
Now it's hard to say whether or not I'm okay
If only, I'd been there that day, but
now I can actually breath and things seem alright
now I don't have to fight in the middle of the night
now I can actually breath and things seem alright
now I don't have to fight in the middle of the night
Now I can actually breath and things seem alright
now I don't have to fight in the middle of the night
but what a shame it was

Chorus 2x
I'm sorry I didn't know
and now it's starting to snow but
this weather would be much better
if I hadn't let you keep my damn sweater
