Winter Coats Lyrics - Surprise - Better Than Ezra

(written by kevin griffin) 

(transcribed by ferlen david iii) 

Discarded, left behind 

Paper-cups and sour wine 

Candlewax, tablecloth 

Try to wash, it won't come off 

Ticket stubs and movie scenes 

Dustin hoffman has gangrene 

Ferris-wheel in the park 

City lights after dark 

Well I'm goin' home when I find the girl 

Makes me forget what I should have done 

In winter coats 

In winter coats 

In winter coats 

In winter 

Lives are fallin' fast in line 

The words make sense 

But they don't seem to rhyme 

Risin' tide, ocean breeze 

Crashin' waves, askin' please 

Listen to the radio 

Singin' with the songs you know 

Tim passing, memory fades 

Forget about the plans we made 

Decisions wrap the coat up tight 

We keep it safe from the light 

But I'm goin' home when I find the girl 

Makes me forget what I should have not 

In winter coats 

In winter coats 

In winter coats 

In winter 

Lives are fallin' fast in line 

The words make sense 

But they don't seem to rhyme 

[take it, joel] 

But I'm goin' home where I'll find the girl 

That we won't forget what we should have not 

In winter coats 

In winter coats 

In winter coats 

In winter 

Lives are fallin' fast in line 

Our words make sense 

But we don't seem to rhyme 

We don't seem to rhyme 

We don't seem to rhyme 

We don't seem to rhyme
