[Verse 1]
Remember how we sat in January cold
Hands wrapped round our cups
And everything felt old
The heating clicked and ticked
The street outside was grey
You said you couldn't feel
The point of another day
And I didn't have the answer
I just pulled you close
Sometimes that's the only thing
That helps the most
[Pre-Chorus]
But nothing stays forever frozen
Not the ground, not the grief
Even the hardest winters
Have to come to leave
[Chorus]
Before the thaw you can't see it coming
Before the dawn the dark feels long
Before the turn you can't feel the turning
But the season never stopped
The season never stopped
[Verse 2]
We've all got a February
Buried somewhere deep
A year that took too much
A loss we couldn't keep
A door that wouldn't open
A road that wouldn't clear
The kind of weight that follows
From the previous year
But look how far we've carried it
Look how far we've come
Still standing in the cold
Still facing up the sun
[Pre-Chorus]
And nothing stays forever frozen
Not the heart, not the road
Even the heaviest shoulders
Learn to set down the load
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
It's not a lightning bolt
It's not a sign
It's just one morning
Feeling slightly fine
Then one day after that
Feeling it again
And suddenly the count
Outweighs the pain
And the birds come back
And the light runs long
And you find yourself
Humming an old song
[Solo]
[Verse 3]
So here we are in April
Something lifted, something changed
The same streets look different
Everything rearranged
Can't tell you when it shifted
Can't tell you what it cost
Only that we found it
After thinking it was lost
And maybe that's enough now
Maybe that's the truth
You don't need to see the summer
To make it through
[Pre-Chorus]
Because nothing stays forever frozen
Not you, not me, not this
Even the longest silence
Breaks into something we've missed
[Chorus]
Before the thaw you can't see it coming
Before the dawn the dark feels long
Before the turn you can't feel the turning
But the season never stopped
The season never stopped
The season never stopped
