Before the Time Turns Cold

〈Before the Time Turns Cold〉是一首描写“差一步就发生的爱情”的抒情歌曲。
故事发生在夜色刚降临、气温开始转凉的街头，两个人站得很近，却都还没准备好跨出那一步。
灯光亮起、风声穿过街道，时间仿佛被放慢，每一句没说出口的话都在空气中消散。

歌曲以细腻的画面描写犹豫与沉默，把“如果当时不迟疑，结果会不会不同”的遗憾藏在旋律之中。
副歌反复出现的 “Before the time turns cold”，不只是季节的转换，也象征情感在还没真正开始前就悄悄降温。

这首歌并不试图给爱情一个完整结局，而是停留在那个最脆弱、最真实的瞬间——爱是真实存在的，即使它没有留下来。
有些故事不需要继续，因为那一秒，已经说完了一切。

Verse 1
The streets get dark a little early
One by one, the lights come on
Your hands are hiding in your pockets
But you’re standing way too close

Our words are falling slower now
Breath dissolves between the lines
Some things almost reach our lips
Then disappear into the night

Pre-Chorus
It feels like the world decided
To turn everything down low
All I hear is my heart saying
This moment won’t last long

Chorus
Before the time turns cold
I almost pulled you in
If I didn’t hesitate that second
Would we be different in the end

Love was short just like a breath
Never had the chance to prove
Some moments only happen
Before you’re ready to lose

Verse 2
The streetlights haven’t gone out yet
The wind breaks up the dark
You pull your scarf a little higher
Your voice moves slower than your heart

We’ve been standing here too long
No one wants to leave first
Like one more second staying still
Would make the ending hurt

Bridge
If I knew goodbye would come
This quiet, this unseen
I’d rather say nothing at all
And keep you in that night with me

Final Chorus
Before the time turns cold
You look straight into me
Like you already understand
This moment won’t continue

Love was real, it truly was
Even if it couldn’t stay
Some stories don’t need an ending
That second already says everything
