This Time Every Year

You're heartbroken, drunk and frozen
The snow is fallin' and the stores are closin'
But you ain't got no money to buy a present anyway
It's just the weather, boy remember
Every year by the middle of December
You can't stop thinking 'bout the world's end
You start callin' your old girlfriends

Somethin's goin' wrong and it isn't clear
But it seems to happen this time every year

You were starin' at the pretty lights
When your car started slidin' on the ice
They're closin' off the highway
Nobody wants to die that way
All this nonsense just goes to remind you
Your heart's colder than the snow
And you'll spend another Christmas
Makin' angels with your loneliness

And the snow falls and you disappear
And it seems to happen this time every year

Somethin's goin' wrong and it's never clear
But it seems to happen this time every year
