Kiss Me by the Fire

[Verse 1 — Voice 1] The forecast said three feet by dawn So I unplugged the phone Left your boots out on the mat to dry We're not going home [Verse 1 — Voice 2] The radio keeps crackling low Some carol from the fifties fills the room I found the matches in the junk drawer Watch the kindling start to bloom [Pre-Chorus — Both] The windows white, the world shut tight Nobody's coming, nobody knows [Chorus — Both] So kiss me by the fire Let the drifts pile up outside the door I don't need a ribbon or a light on the tree You're the only thing I unwrapped for Kiss me by the fire [Verse 2 — Voice 2] You stole the blanket, I don't mind Your cold feet found my knee There's cocoa going grainy in the mug Half-drunk, forgotten, sweet [Verse 2 — Voice 1] I traced the frost your breath left there On the glass I wrote your name You laughed and rubbed it off again Then wrote it back the same [Pre-Chorus — Both] The clock don't care, we're going nowhere Let the whole world hush and close [Chorus — Both] So kiss me by the fire Let the drifts pile up outside the door I don't need a ribbon or a light on the tree You're the only thing I unwrapped for Kiss me by the fire [Bridge — Voice 1] Come spring they'll dig the roads back through [Bridge — Voice 2] And we'll pretend we minded getting caught [Bridge — Both] But this is the year I stop asking for more 'Cause everything I wanted, I already got [Chorus — Both, softer] So kiss me by the fire Let it snow us in a little more I don't need a ribbon or a light on the tree You're the only thing I was hoping for [Outro — Both, whispered] Kiss me by the fire Kiss me by the fire Let it come down slow
