Snow Day

from Retro by Time Baby

about

The oldest song on this collection, at least in terms of when it was written. I meant for it to be kind of a tribute to Red Guitars' "National Avenue (Sunday Afternoon)," but somewhere along the line it became this odd combination of twee pop and FM synthesizers.

lyrics

You tried to play the good-guy
But you forgot your lines
You wanted to rest your conscience
But if feels you've lost your mind
And now you're snowed inside your home
I doesn't matter that you want to go
It looks like you'll be spending
Some time alone...

The sun is trying to shine
But it can't break through the clouds
You can see a blue sky
But it's not over your house
And the window's so cold
You can't look out of it and hope
But even if the doors were unlocked
You'd still miss your mark

In the fortress of your room
The darkened lights have got you down
And all the socks that you put on
Won't protect you from the cold cold ground
And the snow where the kids make angels
Subjects you to the devil's boredom
Just remember, it's a workshop
Of your own design

The sun is trying to shine
But it can't break through the clouds
You can see a blue sky
But it's not over your house
And the window's so cold
You can't look out of it and hope
But even if the doors were unlocked
You'd still miss your mark

The cold is a desert where you beg for water
A drop to show things getting better
'Cause you've already cleaned the bathroom
But your guilty fingerprints, they just bloomed
Now you're dying to admit you love her
But you think it might upset your master
After all, a sign of progress was not
What today was meant to bring

The sun is trying to shine
But it can't break through the clouds
You can see a blue sky
But it's not over your house
And the window's so cold
You can't look out of it and hope
But even if the doors were unlocked
You'd still miss your mark
