Lyric

Frost columns crunching beneath our feet

"It's cold again this morning," you say so sweet

With a red nose and a gentle smile

Looking at me for a little while

Even as you said those words

The space between our joined hands

Was the only place where warmth remained

The wind slips through the narrow gaps

Whistling cold through the winter maps

Passing through the trees

To wherever it please

The two of us just gazing ahead

A sudden silence starts to spread

I thought I heard it then—

The sound of a heartbeat, now and again

Even if it’s just an ordinary day

I don’t mind it, in my own way

Even if there’s nothing to do

As long as I’m right here next to you

That’s all I need

Frost melting into a puddle on the street

Reflecting a winter sky, pale and neat

White clouds floating faintly there

Flowing quietly through the air

Starting to say something, then holding it in

The words stay inside, beneath my skin

Because it's still a little too cold

For a story to be told

I see the things I shouldn't have seen

Deceiving myself about where I've been

Mending the cracks, trying to hide

Decorating the "Now" I feel inside

Because "somewhat" is enough for me

I know that's not right

I know that, deep in the night

The path of withered grass just goes on

It’ll never be green again, it’s gone

That season will never return

To the bridge we had to burn

Averting my eyes, looking away

Pretending the end isn't coming today

A fake happiness is quietly fading

Into the shadows that are pervading

Just like snow that never piles up

It’s fleeting, like an empty cup

Leaving behind a few memories

Lost in the winter breeze

Only the coldness remained

In these hands, so deeply stained
