Lyrics
I made her a sweatshirt
Creating a special item (sweatshirt) for someone
While wearing my lies
Engaging in deception or falsehood while interacting
And I'm feeling cold
Experiencing emotional detachment or numbness
Almost 365
Feeling cold or distant for nearly a year
I take all my thoughts
Processing thoughts and emotions
But draw it in symbols
Expressing thoughts through symbolic representation
I guess I'm a painter
Claiming to be a painter despite doubting own creativity
No, I'm not creative
Denying personal creativity
But she's so creative
Acknowledging the partner's creativity
She makes all my stories
Partner contributes to storytelling
Really I'm just a vessel
Seeing oneself as a conduit for life's experiences into poetry
Put this life into poetry
Transitioning from singing to direct communication
I'll stop singing in thirds
Changing artistic expression to connect with the listener
And start speaking to you
Acknowledging the listener's strength and growth
You've gotten so strong now
Recognizing maturity in the listener
You're not that little girl now
Reflecting on the listener's evolution
I miss our days
Nostalgia for past moments on swings during recess
On those recess swings
Recalling childhood memories of play
Or playing like wolves
Comparing playfulness to wolves howling at the moon
While we howl at the moon
Shared experiences and connection with the moon
You were so good at drawing
Recognizing the partner's skill in drawing
My love was so innocent for you
Highlighting innocence in past love
And every day I've passed
Reflecting on the passing of time
A part of me has passed
Sense of loss and change over time
And you'll keep writing stories
Partner continues to create stories
But every page has less of you
Loss and diminishing presence in partner's life
Still have your valentines card
Keeping a memento from the past
From our Springton days
Referencing a specific time in the past
The front had some princess
Mentioning a princess on a card
And on the back you wrote your name
Personalizing a shared memory
I miss our days
Nostalgia for past moments on swings during recess (repeated)
On those recess swings
Recalling childhood memories of play (repeated)
Or playing like wolves
Comparing playfulness to wolves howling at the moon (repeated)
While we howl at the moon
Shared experiences and connection with the moon (repeated)
You were so good at drawing
Recognizing the partner's skill in drawing (repeated)
My love was so innocent for you
Highlighting innocence in past love (repeated)
I miss our days
Nostalgia for past moments on swings during recess (repeated)
On those recess swings
Recalling childhood memories of play (repeated)
Or playing like wolves
Comparing playfulness to wolves howling at the moon (repeated)
While we howl at the moon
Shared experiences and connection with the moon (repeated)
You were so good at drawing
Recognizing the partner's skill in drawing (repeated)
My love was so innocent for you
Highlighting innocence in past love (repeated)
