[Verse 1]
She said, can you play me a Christmas song
I checked the itunes, put Joni Mitchell River on
She tried to sing along, she ain’t know the words
I was sober bird, nursing shitty eggnog

She wanted Yule long, I wanted to play the rest of Blue
Thought to myself, this is a weird song undressing to
But she was alright, still felt kinda wrong
Busted all on her couch, shout out to phife dawg

We met like a month ago, I ain’t frontin though
She’s kinda cool, but I know where this gonna go
She ain’t like me either, let’s be real
I’m a flip if I hear another thing about vegan meals

I was a nice dude, with some nice means
Now she could probably find a thousand guys like me
But I got a nice place, and we got heat
I guess it’s a decent spot to spend the next nine weeks

[Hook]
She ain’t fine, but I mean, she’s fine
I guess it’s something that’ll get me through the wintertime
She ain’t gonna be my wife, but she can stay the night
I guess it’s something that’ll get me through the wintertime

You don’t wanna spend your winter, swiping right on tinder
I guess it’s something that’ll get me through the wintertime
I guess it’s something that’ll get me through the wintertime
I guess it’s something that’ll get me through the winter


[Verse 2]
He said, can you tell me where the days gone?
Played some Outkast, he said it sounds like the same song
And his face long, I can tell he’s lost in it
Lost his job, goin down and I’m still on the ship

Its deeper than spending time girls you don’t wanna kick it with
There’s shards of glass in the air, and certain levels of bitterness
Now the days are shorter, so drink another porter
Something dark and heavy, like what’s been weighing on your shoulders

I know Chicago can get brutal during the winter months
And you’re struggling to make enough to fill up your blunts
Probably coulda done more to hit him with the proper feedback
Explain that I been going through the same thing that he had

De Ja Vu, I had seen that, recovery and relapse
I know how every step forward is followed by like three back
He shrugged his shoulders and passed me a cig
I don’t know, fam. It is what it is

[Hook]
You could say you’re fine, but I know you’re lying
I’m hoping for something that’ll get us through the wintertime
Just need a ray of light, to make it through the night
I’m hoping for something that’ll get us through the wintertime

Man this can’t be right, god this can’t be life
I’m hoping for something that’ll get us through the wintertime
I’m hoping for something that’ll get us through the wintertime
I’m hoping for something that’ll get us through the wintertime
