Midnight Remains

Verse 1

Hands hidden deep in my coat

Eyes fixed on distant pale glow

Breath blooming before my lips

Alone, I move so slow

Night bends the world to blue

Old songs replay as I go

Face pressed to haunted glass

Two words I’ll never show

Sorrow sleeps wherever I go

Chorus

Walking through the snow after midnight

Footsteps muffled and slow

Cold wind moves where the shadows go

I still remember what I can't show

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Carried by winter's hold

Oh oh oh

Promises left in the cold

Verse 2

Your name drifts under these grey skies

Crystals gather on my sleeve

Words we spoke melted with sunrise

But the ache never learned to leave

Push my luck with your memory

Hollow laughter, glass hearts fold

Why do the lonely wait for spring

When the chill only grows old

Pre-Chorus

Every flake a fading frame

Melting softly on my face

Traces of the weak and tame

Still linger down this frozen lane

Chorus

Walking through the snow after midnight

Footsteps muffled and slow

Cold wind moves where the shadows go

I still remember what I can't show

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Carried by winter's hold

Oh oh oh

Promises left in the cold

Bridge

Maybe the thaw will come

Maybe you’ll call my name

Maybe I’ll stay undone

Chasing the quiet shame

Chorus

Walking through the snow after midnight

Footsteps muffled and slow

Cold wind moves where the shadows go

I still remember what I can't show

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Carried by winter's hold

Oh oh oh

Promises left in the cold
