Defiance, Ohio - The Temperature is Dropping lyrics
[Defiance, Ohio - The Temperature is Dropping lyrics]
Would it help to write a letter
As puddles turn to icy lakes?
The temperature is dropping
The temperature is dropping with every
Breath or life it takes
And baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
I guess it wouldn't be bad
If street lights and the cold nights in
Between were all we ever had
Simultaneous maps of cities, states of heart
Or the heart of states
And I keep on hoping and I keep
On asking to stay awake or hibernate
And maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe
Our marks can make it through the snow
Even words can wither in the frost
If all we ever know
Is this beating pulse
That slows to less than one beat
Per minute before the spring thaw
Do we measure days or years or
Are we tired of waiting?
And is it a luxury, or survival
Or all that we have?
As puddles turn to icy lakes?
The temperature is dropping
The temperature is dropping with every
Breath or life it takes
And baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
I guess it wouldn't be bad
If street lights and the cold nights in
Between were all we ever had
Simultaneous maps of cities, states of heart
Or the heart of states
And I keep on hoping and I keep
On asking to stay awake or hibernate
And maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe
Our marks can make it through the snow
Even words can wither in the frost
If all we ever know
Is this beating pulse
That slows to less than one beat
Per minute before the spring thaw
Do we measure days or years or
Are we tired of waiting?
And is it a luxury, or survival
Or all that we have?
