Elderbrook - Why Do We Shake In The Cold? Lyrics

Elderbrook Lyrics

"Why Do We Shake In The Cold?"

Can't help the way the body moves
Why do we shake in the cold?
Naked and stoned
And how, that every time we choose
Something has to break in the fall
And I pay for it all

If only I could tell myself
At twenty years that someone else was
Waiting alone
Well I would've run
If only I could start again
I'd pick apart the pieces and
Assemble them all
The way that I want

Why do we shake in the cold?

Can't help the way the body moves
Why do we shake in the cold?
Naked and stoned
And how, that every time we choose
Something has to break in the fall
And I pay for it all

And I...

Why do we shake in the cold?

So, teach me how to swim
Before I learn to fly
Oh, I feel it on my skin
So hold me till I dry

The only song Elderbrook played from the album before its release was "Why Do We Shake In The Cold?" when he performed it during his tour in autumn of 2019.

Elderbrook explained this song in his video documentary published on the 11th of August 2020 by saying, "The idea is we shake in the cold evolutionary speaking to let the people know that we need them close, that we need them close by to huddle together and warm up which kind of is a metaphor for if you're sad you show it you show people you're sad as kind of a way of asking for help."
