Evergreen Eyes - scenic route Lyrics

It's cold up North
This time of year
But I prefer it to the heat
Summer all year long
Is always better in theory

Season of sticks
Instead of snow
Aching December
Makes more sense in the cold

I feel homesick, my love
For a place I don't own a home
Maybe grief, is just love
Who wears a winter coat

Traffic lights
Scream in every way
The city pool
Is all dried up
Only open two months
Of the year anyway

One left turn
At the blinking light
You'll be home in five
But it's all the same
So maybe I'll just drive

I feel homesick, my love
For a place
I don't own a home
Maybe grief, is just love
Who wears a winter coat

Around in circles
That old parking lot
Still smells like us
When we were young
And reckless and dumb

Where did they go?
Those kids who rushed to grow up?
Maybe they're still here
Waiting for us

I feel homesick, my love
For a place I don't own a home
Maybe grief, is just love
Who wears a winter coat
