When Winter Breaks
by Ezzy Elliott
About this track
[Verse 1] The ink is dry upon the page There is no going back Thirty years inside a box Now everything is packed The neighbors wave from down the street They don't know what to say We drove the car across the line And left behind the day [Chorus] I think of Dad in October And the cold air in my lungs I’m just surviving through the winter Holding on for what will come So wake me up when winter breaks Wake me up when winter breaks [Verse 2] My daughter walks the hallway floor She doesn't speak a word I try to make a joke or two But nothing gets heard The friends I had are miles away The phone is silent too I'm staring at a brand new wall With nothing left to do [Chorus] I think of Dad in October And the cold air in my lungs I’m just surviving through the winter Holding on for what will come So wake me up when winter breaks Wake me up when winter breaks [Bridge] The suits and ties have drawn a line They say I speak too loud They try to keep me in the dark Inside this angry crowd The world has lost its mind a bit Or maybe lost its way But I can’t close my eyes to hate No matter what they say [Verse 3] But I still trust a stranger's hand I still believe in love I still look up and talk to God To the grace from up above The frost is only for a while It cannot stop the spring! Yeah, the frost is only for a while It cannot stop the thing! [Outro] I still believe (Wake me up when winter breaks) I still believe (Wake me up when winter breaks) We’re still here! (Wake me up when winter breaks) The love remains! (Wake me up when winter breaks) Wake me up when winter breaks
