Story Behind the Song
So there was this girl. There has to be a girl. Without a girl, there's no good songs. I had mine. I called her Princess.
We were too young and too stupid, and we were together for too long. We were together from the exact wrong ages, from high school to college. So our time together spanned too many of the wrong memories to make letting go a possibility in our minds.
When things were finally through between us, our memories and my inability to admit my faults and save our relationship haunted me for years. And one night, when I was barely 20 years old, I couldn't sleep for the visions and the voices in my head telling me I should have done something different.
For some reason, winter has always reminded me of our relationship. I think for everyone, summer is a time to play and to flirt, and winter is a time to snuggle. That night, the winter was killing me.
Lyrics
Texas Winters
Words and music by Jonathan English
Violin Alan Lockett
Its 3:00 o'clock, I'm drowning
I can't wake up to sleep
Slipping on your memories I sigh
Shadows floated of along the rainbows of our dreams
I never could convince myself to tell you that I'd try
These Texas winters throw me
You smell the fronts as they move through
The autumn leaves drove past me, and the rain drove me to you
January refunds for dollar days of summers gone
The spring would take you from me and summer found me all alone again
On the Texas winter winds
Campus empty afternoons, the Tower counts the days
Cigarettes all pile up like promises I'd break
And every empty bottle is another girl I knew
And every line that doesn't rhyme is proof that I just cant forget you
Holidays and new premiers the lights that shine from 6th
Malls and marble halls they great the stronger drinks I'd mix
It isnt pain that lingers on, its what if I was wrong?
What if she still misses me? What if she still sings our song?
I hope I never figure out these dreams that stain my hands
Like a mile out of Waco when you fell asleep again
The anger and the bitterness, the fear and all I hate
They keep me waking up each morning
Seasons fall and I can't wait
