Melt Before Midnight (versie 2)

Verse

Bare feet on the kitchen tile

Fragrance of pine and melting ice

Grandma's apron hanging still

Your laugh cuts through the Christmas light

Pre-Chorus

Tell me how we hold this feeling

Before it turns to snow again

Is there a way to keep it breathing

Inside my chest where love resides

Chorus

I'm going to melt before midnight

Let it go so I can catch it

Every year it comes back different

Same porch light, same ache in my heart

Verse

Snowflakes hit the window sill

Cousins racing down the hall

Coffee warmer than the room still

Your handwriting on the wall

Pre-Chorus

Tell me how we hold this feeling

Before it turns to snow again

Is there a way to keep it breathing

Inside my chest where love resides

Chorus

I'm going to melt before midnight

Let it go so I can catch it

Every year it comes back different

Same porch light, same ache in my heart

Bridge

Maybe holding on was just an excuse

Not letting go because I never chose

To let the softest parts stay loose

And carry this into the thaw

Chorus

I'm going to melt before midnight

Let it go so I can catch it

Every year it comes back different

Same porch light, same ache in my heart
