lyrics

It’s cold outside but I can’t see my breath
Traffic whizzes by and I forget the rest
My anxiety is always there
(it’s always there when I need a friend)
And it’s fair, yeah it’s fair

I’ve got hot chocolate by the fire
(I’m stretching out hoping the night won’t end)
It accentuates wintertime desire
(I can feel it in the air, in the air, in the air)
Reaching out to beat the cold
I don’t feel old, no I don’t feel old

Then it was almost like you kissed me
And I almost cried so sweetly
I’ll never be on that side
(but when you text me all those sexy things you said they don’t align)
But it’s alright

It’s a stab in the back to say the least
(I turned around and it was you that was smiling)
You can’t be trusted with the keys
(I watched it all, I watched it all fall down)
There is nothing left to mend
It’s the end, yeah it’s the end
Then it was almost like you kissed me
And I almost cried so sweetly
I’ll never be on that side
(but when you text me all those sexy things you said they don’t align)
But it’s alright

This time I tried so god damned hard
Fine lines were blurred out by some chords and strums
This high, this low, this anxiety overflow
This heart is gonna always know
That it’s alright, yeah it’s alright, yeah it’s alright

It’s cold outside but I can’t see my breath
Traffic whizzes by and I forget the rest
My anxiety is always there
And it’s fair, yeah it’s fair
