"Quiet White" lyrics

Do you remember the first snowflakes falling when you were a child?
There was a magic about it you never forget in your life
It covers the bumps and unevenness, and all becomes quiet
The excitement of waking up and the whole world is white

They try to predict it every year
But when it comes, they're never sure
They don't really know

So I tell myself, just let it go
Just let go
'Cause you only melt away
The tighter I hold
I wish I could follow
Wherever you go
But I can't hold on to you
'Cause you're just like the snow
But I'll always love you, you know

I will still be here when you have long disappeared
We had to love hard 'cause we both didn't know if the ending was near
But I'd take a second with you over all of my years
With someone who felt wrong even when skies were clear

They try to predict it every year
But when it comes, they're never sure
No, they don't really know

So I tell myself, just let it go
Just let go
'Cause you melt away
The tighter I hold
I wish I could follow
Wherever you go
But I can't hold on to you
'Cause you're just like the snow
But I'll always love you, you know
