Prompt: "Warming Up"

----Bug's Song-----

Title: Waiting for the Snow to Melt

Additional Challenge: cooooool

Lyrics:

 

You were the first one that I thought of

when the forecast called for snow

you said you'd race me to the bottom

and you took off down the slopes

You were the coolest on the mountain

making sure everyone knows it

taking shortcuts off the trail

while we just wondered "where'd he go"

You said the loser has to buy a beer

when we're back down at the lodge

and you knew I didn't drink

you also knew you never lost

I'd find you grinning, waiting for me

but I didn't mind the cost

it was worth it for the stories

when you got a little sloshed

now the mountains warming up as well

and we're just waiting for the snow to melt

cut to the crispest day of winter

you could see it in your grin

weaving past all the beginners

skiing faster than the wind

when I beat you to the bottom

that's when the fear kicked in

I MAY not know a lot but know

you'd never let me win

now we're just waiting for the snow to melt

We're just waiting for the snow to melt to find something we lost

someone taken by the mountain in a grave made out of frost

And when we find your body I will send word to your mom

she's the only one still holding on to hope after this long

yeah we're just waiting for the snow to melt

You had the kind of wild spirit everyone else tries to fake

you lived a life devoid of fear only an avalanche could take

now when our friends start drinking I'm the first to raise a toast

cause you're the first one that I think of when the forecast calls for snow

Now I'm just waiting for the snow to melt

to get a break and thing of something else

i know that i can be a little too much sometimes

alright maybe most of the time

I know that I&
