Lyrics
i have lost, i have gained/ slowly snow comes from rain/ it takes time to unwrap all these things as gifts/ i am frozen, i am gray, and the lights are hidden away/ reflected gold on a face/ that i have come to love/ it takes time to fall in love again/ it takes time to remember what a gift this is/ i am asking you to see the forest for the trees/ and call me before new year's eve/ in a year a thing or two will fall apart/ keep the light turned on/ don't let it weigh on your heart/ take the white canvas/ and paint for change
