It was a cold night already
Nevermind the hands in pockets
Nevermind the windy passers-by
And the city spoke to me in oh so many words
The stories of the buildings left me breathless
If this is how it's gonna be all winter, I thought
I'd better find someone to call
'Cause when you fall out of love
And time is unfrozen
The heart takes the longest to thaw
It was a bold lie already
Nevermind the good intentions
Nevermind the intertwining heat
And skin is skin
And breath is only air
But hands can tell the difference
Hands can strip you bare, and I thought
If this is how it's gonna be all winter, I had
I'd best get used to feeling raw
'Cause when you fall out of love
And time is unfrozen
The heart takes the longest to thaw
