# Frost on the Ground --- **[Verse 1]** Sitting by the window, late at night cup of wine but nothing feels right the moon is staring like it knows my name like it followed me here, like it carries my shame I look down at the floor swear I see snow but it's just the pale light from a place I used to know **[Pre-Chorus]** I keep sighing, sighing, sighing can't stop don't know why I'm trying, trying, trying to stop **[Chorus]** Is that frost on the ground or just the moon lying to me again I can hear every sound from a home I can't go back to, and then I breathe out slow watch it disappear it was never snow just me… wishing I was there **[Verse 2]** Li Bai with his ink-stained hands writing poems nobody understands but I understand every single word the quietest heartbreak you've ever heard the moon is full tonight just like back then if I stare long enough maybe I'm home again **[Pre-Chorus]** I keep sighing, sighing, sighing can't stop don't know why I'm trying, trying, trying to stop **[Chorus]** Is that frost on the ground or just the moon lying to me again I can hear every sound from a home I can't go back to, and then I breathe out slow watch it disappear it was never snow just me… wishing I was there **[Bridge]** *(whispered)* 举头望明月 look up at the moon 低头思故乡 and miss home 举头望明月 the moon won't move 低头思故乡 but I'm alone… the floor is cold or maybe I'm cold the snow isn't real but the longing is **[Outro — fading]** *(barely audible)* sighing… sighing… is that snow… or just the light… just the light… just the light… --- *Inspired by Li Bai's poem「静夜思」Quiet Night Thoughts, Tang Dynasty*
