Caramel Vanilla Dream

Song I thought up in McDonalds. DO try the Caramel Iced Mocha.
Happy New Year, Tori. This was supposed to be an ode but it turned out quite differently.

if you're awake
the picture of you is hanging clearly in the head on my pillow
silently gathering dust
i thought maybe it was better
to let things slip and go by
instead of breaking apart again

so here i am
sitting quietly beside myself
i raise my glass and cheer
to victory for just a moment where the wind breaks over the snow
trapped here deeply in my
caramel vanilla ice cream dream
(dah dah dah dahdahdah dah dahdahdah)

my first mistake
was letting doubts hold silent symphonies in concert
halls in radiant trees and storms and thunder
twilight gathers over me just for a moment
things illuminated by the lightning sky

so here i am
writing words upon the screen and humming
almost unheard by the sleeping and falling new snow
i jump out my window to land
waistdeep in the middle of the drifts like dunes
escaping cars and chasing gentle breezes down the lane

snowfall, bury me away this year
snowfall, send me a pocket full of cheer i'm
trying not to let myself go very very far away to be
inside the center of a land where the ice won't melt for days
maybe i'll find it here this happy new year


so here we are
making lots of noise and cheering
hoping maybe this year will be better than the last i'm thinking
and if you're here, and you happen to stop by a while
maybe we can share an ice-cold caramel vanilla mocha
(dah dah dah dahdahdah dah dahdahdah)
caramel vanilla caramel dream
(dah dah dah dahdahdah dah dahdahdah)
snowfall, bury me away this year
snowfall, bury me away this year
vanilla ice-cream dream
