St. Patrick's Day
John Mayer
here comes the gloom
break out the winter clothes
and find a love to call your own
you enter, you
your cheeks a shade of pink
and the rest of you in powder blue
who knows what will be?
but I'll give you this guarantee, see
no way November will see our good-bye
when it comes to December, it's obvious why
no one wants to be alone at Christmas time
in the dark, on the phone
you tell me the names of your brothers
and your favorite colors
I'm learning you
and when it snows again
we'll take a walk outside
and search the skies like children do
I'll say to you
no way November will see our good-bye
when it comes to December, it's obvious why
no one wants to be alone at Christmas time
come January, we're frozen inside
making new resolutions a hundred times
February, won't you be my valentine?
and we'll all be safe till St. Patrick's Day
we should take a ride tonight around the town
and look at all of the beautiful houses
something 'bout the way that blue lights
on a black night can make you feel more
everybody just wants to be exactly like you and me
February, won't you be my valentine?
and come January we're frozen inside
making new resolutions a hundred times
February, won't you be my valentine?
and if our always is all that we gave
and we someday take that away
I'll be okay, if it was just till St. Patrick's Day
St. Patrick's Day just struck me as a frank and mean song.
Though you can't help but see the truth in it.
Getting together just so you'd have someone through the winter.
Practical. Wise. Absolutely cruel.
