Album: The Paper Raincoat

It just takes some getting used to
It just takes some getting used to
It just takes some getting used to is all


Out the front door to a world cold as ice
Pull my hat down and pick up my stride
I watch my breath as it steams the air to white
Winter breaks me at her start every time
Even though I'm prepared for the cold
In a while I'll be doing fine, I'm told
I know, I know

It just takes some getting used to, is all

I crossed an ocean, I took a lover
Took a picture outside the palace door
Showed my friend, he said he'd been there before
Crossed a river on a path train underground
Never thought I'd come back to my hometown
My eyes adjust to the dark as we go down
I look around

It just takes some getting used to..

It's not the changes but the s p a c e s in between
It's not the story but the cuts between the scenes
It's the part where your eyes can't focus
The minute just before you notice
The images align naturally

It just takes some getting used to, is all.......
