January - Lyrics - We Are Lions

This year, April fell in the fall And staying warm this winter won't matter at all I've been cold all summer long It rained gold on sapphire streets And we played it cool as if we didn't need the heat But we did That's why we didn't mind as we set ourselves on fire Cold she is in the stare but warm she could be in my January I'd smile if you were here Once I watched a girl who lied on her back in a field with jewels for eyes I'd smile if you were here A dozen doves lied on their side to protest the sky "We'll never fly again" I penned notes on sheets when I coundn't sleep And rolled around in those words until covered in ink If you could see me now, you could read me now I've been cursed with puzzles and poems, Piecing each together, words to bring you home If you could hear this now, you could hear me now
