Lyrics
You think I got time for you?

You’re just somebody in the snow

I don’t even know why I think about you

Somehow I just keep seeing you around

Everybody’s coming and going

I thought I’d stay for a while

It had to be you threw me out

I didn’t know you were so cruel

But thanks for all the gifts

Hang on silver branches

And now we’re all out here

And your eyes find me in the glass
