Jonah fell in love in a foreign town
With defenses down, he wanted to be good
But Jonah gets in trouble like a bullet to a gun
She had nowhere to run, so she froze where she stood
And he trembled at her touch as she kissed his weary back
They both would take turns dying for a love that couldn't last
Somehow I'll get through the winter
Somehow my lying will decay
Somehow I'm gonna make all the money back
And somehow I'm gonna make you stay
Jonah made a pact with the California sun
And the beauty he had won, it needed the sea
But Jonah tends to overwhelm like storms to a bird
And she had already heard, still she followed his lead
But the sky would open up, undo secrets of the past
They both would take turns dying for a love that couldn't last
Somehow I'll get through the winter
Somehow my lying will decay
Somehow I'm gonna make all the money back
And somehow I'm gonna make you stay
Coal won't heat an empty room without a flame
And rock won't turn to diamond till it's time
All the kisses in the world won't soften bite
And trees that grow up side by side will intertwine
Now the ending of this tale is something only two can send
When the story travels by the mouth, lies will surely bend
Neither one was beaten, and neither one beat up
But they both now carry scars from the fire that they touched
And if you take it to the page, they won't answer, do not ask
The name and face of all now wear a heavy altered mask
Alleviate the dying of a love that couldn't last, saying
Somehow I'll get through the winter
Somehow my lying will decay
Somehow I'm gonna make all the money back
And somehow I'm gonna make you stay
Somehow I'll get through the winter
Somehow my lying will decay
Somehow I'm gonna make all the money back
And somehow I'm gonna make you stay
Somehow I'm gonna make you stay
