Girlfriend Material - No One Ever Breaks Up in the Winter

I just thought it was cute
The way that she brushed off her seat
Before she sat down on the subway
And I can think of worse reasons for falling in love
And it was cute, and it was sweet, from August through November
After that it was easier just staying together

I guess that's why no one ever breaks up in the winter

It's too cold to sleep alone

Did I mention it was Christmas?
We went to visit her folks
She said "Just do me this one favour
It's been so long since I brought somebody home"

She grew up in this creepy old house
It was creaky and drafty and cool
Her Dad had this rule
That we had to sleep in separate rooms

But she snuck down the stairs
And crawled into my bed around midnight

It's too cold to sleep alone

Her and her Mom got along, they were still pretty close
They went for a walk in the morning
So her Dad made me coffee
And put on ESPN

We just stared at the TV
While the Jets shitkicked the Steelers
But at halftime he sighed
And I think he was crying when he said

"I used to think no one ever breaks up in the winter
And when winters aren't long, kid, you'll always get freed by the spring
But the summers won't last like they did in the past
The snow starts to fall and you realize you're trapped
In a bed in a house full of ghosts and regrets you amassed
When you thought

It's too cold to sleep alone...
