3 AM Snow

I look at you tonight and know you have to go
Hold me close one last time, it's starting to get cold
Your favorite blanket wrapped so tightly 'round us both
Look out the window, stardust, and it starts to snow

Wish the whole world would stop, wish it would all go still
And then we run outside, and you lean in for a kiss

Under the 3 AM snow
Can you see my breath in the cold
I wish it didn't have to go
And now I walk home all alone
Without the 3 AM snow

Could spend our whole lives here, maybe we'd be content
But the thing about snow is, it melts
So hold me in the cold baby, while we still have the chance
And take the moment in, let it put you in a trance

And make the whole world stop, let it all go still
Look at the snowflakes fall, and give me one last kiss

Under the snow
See your breath fading in the cold
You know all good things have to go
Someday a flower's gonna grow
The snow's gonna start to melt away
So many things I didn't say
Maybe we'll get the chance someday
But right now all you have to do is stay
Under the 3 AM snow

Can't feel my fingers
Snow in your hair
The whole world is quiet, just you and me there
Don't take a photo, don't try to capture it
Just live in the moment, just be in the moment
Every second's a lifetime, every moment ends
But that's why it's beautiful, here in the silence
You know that the snow is beautiful, because tomorrow it's all gone
And it'll snow again, someday

We wake up, early morning, all the snow is gone
But we have the memories, and we have this song
Take one last look at you, watch you as you go
And then we melt away, just like the snow
