Wave 1 track 13

Snowflakes

Snowflakes captures the delicate beauty of fleeting moments. The song tells the story of two people meeting on a snowy evening, drawn together in a cosy apartment while the world outside is blanketed in snow. There’s a sense of warmth and connection between them, but also an undercurrent of uncertainty. They’re still getting to know each other, and every word or action feels like it could tip the balance.

Lyrics

We crossed paths as the city lights flickered low Breath hanging in the air, both moving slow You said “It’s too cold, let’s go somewhere warm” And I’d heard that line so many times before

There’s coffee steam and your sweater on the chair Your laugh fills the quiet in this cosy air Every second, I feel it slipping away Afraid that one move could end it today

I wish I wanted to leave this apartment I’m lacking in the motivation department I guess I could go anytime It’s the winter chill that got me up here The evening came, light disappeared I should go home but it’s getting late But my car’s all covered in snowflakes

We’re lost in conversation, the world fades away Every moment feels like it’s ours to stay You lean a bit closer, your hand brushes mine But it’s fragile, this moment, hanging by a thin line

I’m balancing here between what’s next and now One step forward could pull the walls down Trying to keep it light, like a feather’s weight But hearts don’t follow rules, they complicate

I wish I wanted to leave this apartment I’m lacking in the motivation department I guess I could go anytime It’s the winter chill that got me up here The evening came, light disappeared I should go home but it’s getting late But my car’s all covered in snowflakes

One wrong move, the door could close But here in this moment, nobody knows The frost on the windows, the warmth in the room In the silence, we’re just making room

I wish I wanted to leave this apartment But I’m lacking in the motivation department I guess I could go anytime It’s the winter chill that got me up here The evening came, light disappeared I should go home but it’s getting late But my car’s all covered in snowflakes

I should go home but it’s getting late But my car’s all covered in snowflakes (snowflakes, snowflakes)

About this song

Snowflakes captures the delicate beauty of fleeting moments. The song tells the story of two people meeting on a snowy evening, drawn together in a cosy apartment while the world outside is blanketed in snow. There’s a sense of warmth and connection between them, but also an undercurrent of uncertainty. They’re still getting to know each other, and every word or action feels like it could tip the balance.

The line, “I should go home ‘cause it’s getting late / but my car’s all covered in snowflakes,” sums up the tension between wanting to stay and doing what makes sense. The snow isn’t just about the weather; it’s a metaphor for those fragile moments in life that could slip away at any second. It’s about holding onto something special, even if it feels risky.
