Gwen & Tim

"Early Winter", co-escrita por Tim Rice-Oxley (Keane), é um dos raros rasgos de inspiração do disco. Gwen pediu ao músico uma balada, ao jeito de 'Killing Me Softly' (The Fugees) ou 'Time After Time' (Cindy Lauper), e o britânico ofereceu-lhe um tema pop calmo, deveras viciante, e com um travo a No Doubt.

Early Winter

You, you know how to get me so low
My heart had a crash when we spoke
I can’t fix what you broke
And you, you always have a reason
Again and again this feelin
Why do I give in

And I always was, always was one for cryin
I always was one for tears

[Chorus]
The sun’s getting cold, it’s snowin
Looks like an early winter for us
Looks like an early winter for us
An early winter, oh I need you to turn me over

It's sad the map of the world is on you
The moon gravitates around you
The seasons escape you

And I always was, always was one for cryin
I always was one for tears
No I never was, never was one for lyin
You lied to me all of these years

[Chorus]

Why, why do you act so stupid
Why, you know that I’m always right

Looks like an early winter for us
It hurts and I can’t remember sunlight
An early winter for us
The leaves are changing color for us
and it gets too much
yeah it gets so much
Starting over and over and over again
it looks like an early winter for us
