Favorite Season

CHORUS

He came around like my favorite season, but

when he said he loved me I asked for a reason.

He couldn’t tell, just something he felt

like reaching heaven after living through hell.

VERSE 1

He held my hand all through winter,

Laughing with him made life a little better.

But I questioned his heart, didn’t know where to start

Taking down my walls until he tore them apart.

CHORUS

He came around like my favorite season, but

when he said he loved me I asked for a reason.

He couldn’t tell, just something he felt

like reaching heaven after living through hell.

VERSE 2

Springtime brought warmer weather, got me thinking we could build a life together.

Holding hands, making plans, and finally feeling safe in the arms of a man.

CHORUS

He came around like my favorite season, but

when he said he loved me I asked for a reason.

He couldn’t tell, just something he felt

like reaching heaven after living through hell.

VERSE 3

Summer came with lazy days by the lake.

That Indiana heat made all my doubt melt away.

I was lost in what’s gone but it didn’t take long.

What I found in him doesn’t feel so wrong.

CHORUS

He came around like my favorite season, but

when he said he loved me I asked for a reason.

He couldn’t tell, just something he felt

like reaching heaven after living through hell.

VERSE 4

When autumn fell, we were building furniture, a new couch, a new bed, a new place for me to learn

how to use broken parts to build a new heart,

make a frame from scratch and start calling it art.

CHORUS

He came around like my favorite season, but

when he said he loved me I asked for a reason.

He couldn’t tell, just something he felt

like reaching heaven after living through hell.

VERSE 5

Winters back…it’s been a whole year.

He brought me peace when I thought love equaled fear.

I’ve learned love doesn’t have to be earned and no one has to get hurt.

He shows me every day that love isn’t just words.

CHORUS

He stuck around, became my favorite season, but

when he says he loves me, I don’t need a reason.

I can always feel how he’s always felt.

He feels like heaven after living through hell.
