So I thought this week was week 58 of openmic when I recorded this. Whoops! Anywhoo... this is a cover of one of my favorite songs. Bayside is a damn good pop-punk band, but this acoustic song was written after their drummer died during the winter. All the feels, steemit. All the feels.

Thanks for watching! Many thanks as always to @luzcypher and @pfunk for making openmic possible. Please follow them for the latest news and information regarding openmic.

Lyrics:

When winter comes next year I'll be holding on to anything nailed down.

As for being patient with fate and all, it's getting old, and my mind is slowly changing.

I'm calling all my oldest friends, saying sorry for this mess we're in, and I'm waiting. Waiting.

For the sun to come and melt this snow, wash away the pain and give me back control. Control.

An angel got his wings and we'll hold our heads up knowing that he's fine. We'd all be lucky, to have a love like that in a lifetime.

Should we still set his plate? Should we still save his chair? Should we still buy him drinks, and if we don't did we not care?

It makes you think about the life you've led, shit you've done, and things you've said, and it's grounding. Grounding.

I've been feeling three feet tall this month. Hardly indestructible, but the snow melts yeah, and the rhythm still goes on.

An angel got his wings and we'll hold our heads up knowing that he's fine. We'd all be lucky to have a love like that in a lifetime.

And friends stay side by side, in life and death you've always stolen my heart. You've always meant so much to me it's hard to believe this.

These nights in vans. These nights in bars. They don't mean a thing with empty hearts. With empty hearts.

An angel got his wings and we'll hold our heads up knowing that he's fine. We'd all be lucky to have a love like that in a lifetime.

And friends stay side by side, in life and death you've always stolen my heart. You've always meant so much to me it's hard to believe, so much to me it's hard to believe, so much to me it's hard to believe this.
