Breathe in the frost

Verse 1

Steam on the window, your scarf's wrapped tight

Frost on the sill, we're letting it shine tonight

Snowflakes collect on your glove like they know you belong here

Every spark in the yard makes a little light appear

Pinecones on the porch, you kick off your shoes

Says let me hold your hand through all this

Bare tree branch tapping against the windowpane

We both look up at once and pretend it's not the same

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it now, is that something moving in my chest?

Tell me what you're thinking, do we pass or rest?

Chorus

Breathe in the frost, let the cold get into your bones

We dance under the tree until our breath freezes on

Nothing's real except this light and these hands and this

Hold onto something that feels like a dream in the dark before it breaks

Every inch of me turning to ice but I won't let go

Verse 2

Snowbank beside us, we're both taller than we need to be

Starlight cuts through the clouds right where your eyes meet mine

Rustle on the bushes, you turn up a corner of that smile

Say nothing at all and still it's like time has gone still

Chestnuts roasting in the grate by the door left open for us

Nothing is quiet when we're standing inside of this

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it now, is that something moving in my chest?

Tell me what you're thinking, do we pass or rest?

Chorus

Breathe in the frost, let the cold get into your bones

We dance under the tree until our breath freezes on

Nothing's real except this light and these hands and this

Hold onto something that feels like a dream in the dark before it breaks

Every inch of me turning to ice but I won't let go

Bridge

Maybe the only thing we can count is the second before it fades

Maybe what we leave behind just turns into dust in May

I don't want to know and I don't need you to tell me why

Just breathe with me under this light, watch my hair turn to smoke

Nothing's holding us here except the shape of this door

Nothing waiting for us except maybe more

Chorus

Breathe in the frost, let the cold get into your bones

We dance under the tree until our breath freezes on

Nothing's real except this light and these hands and this

Hold onto something that feels like a dream in the dark before it breaks

Every inch of me turning to ice but I won't let go
