Cold Shivers (2024 Remaster) Lyrics

I was thinking about how close we came

Before it slipped away like a coin down the drain

Like a face in a window after you said good-bye

I was looking through an old magazine

When I saw your picture, thought of how much you changed

Like a map of a city rebuilt after the war

And I really don't know how it happened so fast

How we all grew so old, how we fell out of touch

But I still feel cold, cold shivers, 'cause I wanted it so much

And I was thinking how it swept us away

And we were helpless, once our choice had been made

Like a bullet in the barrel of a gun that has been fired

And I was searching for the truth I denied

Trying to remember just which times I lied

Lies I repeated so often they seemed true

And I really don't know how it happened so fast

How we all grew so old, how we fell out of touch

But I still feel cold, cold shivers, 'cause I wanted it so much

And I've been lookin for the reasons why we grew to be so cold

And I've been hoping that the bridges we burned were all behind us after all

And I was whistling an old melody

One we used to sing, and it felt incomplete

Like a book you never finished and never put away

And I really don't know how it happened so fast

How we all grew so old, how we fell out of touch

But I still feel cold, cold shivers, 'cause I wanted it so much

Cold, cold shivers, 'cause I wanted it so much
