Out of all contexts and scenery
It shows laughter rings inside of me
Aching paths don't cross so easily
Break my back to see things differently
So glow
We've held off the cold
Low and behold
The seasons passing toll
I find reasons and stop wondering
The different ways in which we feel the same
Give too much to what if imagery
Now the second time means more to me
So glow
We've held off the cold
So glow
We've held off the cold
Low and behold
