Everybody Falls in Love in the Winter by Jimmy Gibson Lyrics

I used to take the loves that I held so dearly
Spare some warmth and hospitality
But winter nights bring out the worst in someone
And my greed got the better of me
If I could take back my words I’d do it
I would jump on the count of three
But I guess it’s not as simple as it used to
It’s not as simple as it used to be

I used to sing for the ways it all keeps falling
As it killed what used to grow
Now as I walk through the powder that paints my feet
I just pray for it all to go

Well there’s someone that I’d take dancing
There are complications that I can’t get past
She talks like an angel and she looks like she speaks
But her friends over there at half mast
If you’re mourning the death of an evening
And you’re still pulling out those shards of glass
Don’t look too quickly for the safety of those arms
‘Cause nothing ever changes so fast
I used to sing for the ways it keeps falling
I was younger and I knew what I didn’t know
And now these memories won’t stop calling
I just pray for it all to go

I remember just three years earlier
When the worst was just her and someone else
I used to bottle my old self pity
In hopes of putting records on your shelf
But those feelings just can’t compare anymore
To the sting of those self made welts
And the guilt that still accompanies
Hurting them and I guess myself

I used to sing for the ways it keeps falling
 The economies and the snow
 But as my head echoes things I’ve been afraid to sing about
I just pray for it all to go
