Lyric

Quiet December night

Your scarf on my chair

Steam from the mugs

Dissolving the air

Street outside frozen

Clock stuck at nine

You trace the window

I trace your outline

Frozen time on this quiet December night

Every word that I don't say still shining in the light

If I breathe too deep

I might let it all slip through

So I sit here

Holding everything but you

Your laugh in a whisper

Soft

Then it fades

You talk about leaving

I stare at the plates

Salt on your lashes

Snow in your hair

I want to say "stay"

But I just sit there

Frozen time on this quiet December night

Every word that I don't say still shining in the light

If I breathe too deep

I might let it all slip through

So I sit here

Holding everything but you

How long can a moment last

If we never let it move

If I opened up my mouth

Would I lose the only you I knew

Frozen time on this quiet December night

Every word that I don't say still shining in the light

If I breathe too deep

I might finally tell the truth

But I sit here

Watching silence choose for you
