I was alone so long
I didn't even know that I was lonely
Out in the cold so long
I didn't even know that I was cold
Turned my collar to the wind
This is how it's always been

All I've ever known is how to hold my own
All I've ever known is how to hold my own
But now I wanna hold you too

You take me in your arms
And suddenly there's sunlight all around me
Everything bright and warm
And shining like it never did before
And for a moment I forget
Just how dark and cold it gets

All I've ever known is how to hold my own
All I've ever known is how to hold my own

But now I wanna hold you
Now I wanna hold you
Hold you close
I don't wanna ever have to let you go
Now I wanna hold you, hold you tight
I don't wanna go back to the lonely life

I don't know how or why
Who am I that I should get to hold you?
But when I saw you all alone against the sky
It's like I'd known you all along
I knew you before we met
And I don't even know you yet

All I know's you're someone I have always known
All I know's you're someone I have always known
And I don't even know you

Now I wanna hold you, hold you close
I don't wanna ever have to let you go
Suddenly the sunlight, bright and warm
Suddenly I'm holding the world in my arms

Say that you'll hold me forever
Say that the wind won't change on us
Say that we'll stay with each other
And it will always be like this

I'm gonna hold you forever
The wind will never change on us
Long as we stay with each other
Then it will always be like this
