we live our lives within a breadth of time

we make the best of what we've got even if it's not a lot

last night the wind was blowing cold, i felt a chill take hold

left me empty inside as I was buried in thought

we all make our own mistakes

even chances we didn't take

sometimes these lessons learned become who we are

since we're the ones who are left to live our lives with these scars

everything that we choose, some we win, some we lose

and what might be right for me may not be right for you, 

i know the opposite is also true, so please don't think i'm blaming you

i really wish you wouldn't take offense to the things i say

so when that cold wind hit me yesterday

I knew there was something i should say, something i should do

the one who blew it must be me, because everything's all up to you

i don't know what to do, i don't know what to say

those cold winds keep coming around

they blow so cold, i shiver from the sound

last night they even brought me to my knees

only the thought of seeing your face again

kept me from the depths of its freeze

they've come to blow me away

i'd give my life to be with you through time

cause without your touch, i'm really not much

and with those winds all around, i know my end is confound

since the cold from the emptiness drives me insane

i thought you'd be here with me everyday 

now there is nothing i could do, nothing i could say

if the decision were left to me i'd ask

please come home today, just come home today

i need you here with me

those cold winds keep blowing through

they blow so cold, but what can i do

i can hear them blowing through the trees

if i knew you believed in me 

it would keep me from the freeze
