Baby, I love you

but that’s not enough

And pulling away

has been unbearably buff

I ran up the mountain

out of your sight

The snow on the peak

was just unbearably white

The city was freezing

an elegant floe

that wind at the doorway

was unbearably cold

You walked to the bedroom

and sat down to write

The page in your notebook

was unbearably white

*Chorus:*

There’s an avalanche coming

Don’t cover your eyes

It’s what you thought that you wanted

It’s still a surprise

It’s hard on the body

It’s hard on the mind

To learn what kept us together, darling,

Is what kept us alive

Sooner or later

the story gets told

To tell it myself

would be unbearably bold

Presented with darkness

we turned to the light

Could have been smart

we’re just unbearably bright

*Chorus*

Call it a day

call it a night

Callous and cold and just unbearably white
