Northbrook - In Alaska, There Are No Gardens lyrics
rate me<br>
I promised you everything to no avail <br>I was expecting snow, and you gave me hail <br>My winter wonderland <br>Is held in the warmth of your callous hand <br>The presence -- no, the gift of you <br>Was taken from me half unwrapped <br>A Christmas like this only came once a lifetime <br>The snow turned to ice <br>Like stalactites ready and waiting to fall <br>You shattered all my hopes like it was your business <br>You came masterfully disguised in a masquerade of lies <br>When all the while you were planning my demise <br> <br>The north has no place for a Florida boy who loves snow <br>There's a twinkle in the sky that says, "there's no place like home" <br> <br>They say no two snowflakes can ever look the same <br>And that they rarely ever land in the same place <br>But you hit me again with the same cold wind <br>You were never one to follow the rules <br> <br>(Well, the winds are coming in from the west this time <br>And it's a long, cold draft) <br> <br>This love is spineless, yeah it sends shivers down my spine <br>(Shivers down my spine) <br>Every move we make is another crack in the ice <br>And soon we we will be drowning <br>(We're cracking in the ice) <br>Put on a sweater, it has sleeves for your heart to reside on <br>(Sleeves for your heart to reside) <br>So you won't be cold all the time <br> <br>Go ahead and burn more bridges <br>Yeah, cause I could use a flame <br>I still shiver from the thought of you <br>You played me like a game <br>Go ahead and sell me more <br>Like you've still got a chance <br>Cause frankly, I've just had enough <br>Of this dollar bill romance <br> <br>They say no two snowflakes can ever look the same <br>And that they rarely ever land in the same place <br>But you hit me again with the same cold wind <br>You were never one to follow the rules <br> <br>Stars covered the skies as I looked into your eyes <br>And I searched for a depth which was hidden deep inside <br>Of a translucent shell; a shallow, cold sheet of ice <br>Yet always thick and warm enough to shield you from demise <br>I was searching for the secrets of emotional retreat <br>Cause it's never just the ice, it's the water beneath <br>But all I could find was a fickle, shallow mind <br>And the crushing realization that you were no longer mine <br> <br>I didn't make it very far <br>I didn't make much of anything <br>The only thing I made was a mistake <br>You're my favorite mistake <br> <br>I hope the next breath you take is underwater <br>And the next step that you make is on thin ice<br>
