When the Weather’s Right

I wonder if you hear me break I practice words I never say My feelings hide beneath my skin Afraid of where the truth begins You smile at me so hopefully Your touch leaves a quiet ache behind My heart beats faster when you’re this close What if it starts to snow? What if you know… will I lose you then? When the weather’s right, I feel safe All of my fear begins to fade But then you reach and take my hand And I feel the change April is coming You lay your head on my shoulder And cry softly over a passing thunder I let you hold on to me Hoping my warmth is enough We both keep silent Unaware of how we fall apart My heart beats faster when you’re this close What if it starts to snow? What if you know… will I lose you then? When the weather’s right, I feel safe All of my fear begins to fade But then you reach and take my hand And I feel the change April is coming If I let the cold wrap me in its arms If I hold you tighter and you don’t run Maybe fear was just the longest night And love was waiting for the sun When the weather’s right, I feel safe All of my fear begins to fade When you reach and take my hand I don’t fight the change April is here, I let the light in I let my heart melt away The weather’s right You keep me warm… Even when you’re just a friend
