lyrics

Lately It’s Cold

Icicles in my windowsill and icicles in my brain
Lately I just don’t know if I’ll ever be warm again
Summer is just a memory, winter goes on and on
I don’t know how much longer I can be strong

(Chorus)
Lately it’s cold outside
Lately it’s cold outside
Lately it’s cold out, hope I can hold out
Lately it’s cold outside

Everyone needs a ray of sun to carry the blues away
Nobody wants to sink into eternity so grey
If you were here I’d make it through the rest of the winter storm
Dreaming of summer kisses I can be warm

(Chorus)

Never a day goes by in winter that I don’t think about the spring
Still I was raised a northern girl and that’s who I am
Give me a couple months of snow
Then I’m alive and good to go
But if the winter persists I will tell it to scatter and scram
Scatter and scram

I want to get hot tonight
Hold you by the firelight
By the time we meet up, I hope that things’ll heat up
Lately it’s cold outside

(Chorus)
