Lyrics

I don't mind the weather
I've got scarves and caps and sweaters
I've got long johns under slacks for blustery days
I think that it's brainless to assume
That making changes to your window's view
Will give a new perspective
And the hardest part is yet to come
I don't mind restrictions
Or if you're blacking out the friction
It's just an escape, it's overrated anyways
The hardest part is yet to come
When you will cross the country, alone
Written by: Benjamin Gibbard
