I threw your keys in the water, I looked back 
They'd frozen half way down in the ice 
They froze up so quickly, the keys and their owners 
Even after the anger, it all turned silent and 
The everyday turned solitary 
So we came to February 

First we forgot where we'd planted those bulbs last year 
Then we forgot that we'd planted at all 
Then we forgot what plants are altogether 
And I blamed you for my freezing and forgetting and 
The nights were long and cold and scary 
Can we live through February? 

You know I think Christmas was a long red glare 
Shot up like a warning, we gave presents without cards 
And then the snow 
And then the snow came, we were always out shoveling 
And we'd drop to sleep exhausted 
Then we'd wake up, and it's snowing 

And February was so long that it lasted into March 
And found us walking a path alone together 
You stopped and pointed and you said, "That's a crocus" 
And I said "What's a crocus?" and you said "It's a flower" 
I tried to remember but I said "What's a flower?" 
You said "I still love you" 

The leaves were turning as we drove to the hardware store 
My new lover made me keys to the house 
And when we got home, well we just started chopping wood 
Because you never know how the next will be 
And we'll gather all our arms can carry 
I have lost to February
