(Chorus) 
It’s not so bad while you’re by my side, 
While it’s just us two against the winter. 
No need to turn, no need to hide — 
Just staying human, a soul’s soft splinter. 
It’s not so bad, a song in my ears, 
The rhythm’s keeping the pace of my step. 
We don’t know yet what follows the years, 
But we’ve learned the lesson that we have kept.

(Verse 2) 
Home and work, just words in the air — 
Like background noise outside the glass. 
It makes my head spin, it’s hard to bear, 
Like an old museum where the shadows pass. 
I’m not like them, the ones out there, 
And you’re not like them, I swear. 
This world belongs to us alone, 
As long as we’re alive and strong.

(Bridge) 
One true friend is already a lot, 
One single path is a route to find. 
We don’t need a party or a crowded spot, 
We’re doing fine leaving that behind.

(Verse 3) 
Just walking on. Only ahead. 
Until the lights begin to fade. 
Life’s not all honey or sugar-fed, 
But we’re okay with the choice we’ve made. 
It’s not so bad. It’s all alright. 
The sun is rising somewhere far. 
For a million strangers, it’s just light, 
But I only believe in the eyes you are.

Left the house, zipped my jacket tight, The wind hits me in the face. No one explained a thing tonight, But it is what it is, in this place. The city chimes, the streetlights glow, People rushing, nowhere to go. I just want to stand right here, Watch the world and feel it near. (Chorus) It’s not so bad while you’re by my side, While it’s just us two against the winter. No need to turn, no need to hide — Just staying human, a soul’s soft splinter. It’s not so bad, a song in my ears, The rhythm’s keeping the pace of my step. We don’t know yet what follows the years, But we’ve learned the lesson that we have kept.
