Verse 1
Jorin, it started snowing while you were on that call
You didn't see it, you were arguing with somebody in the hall
I sat beside the window with the light off and one headphone on
And the whole street went quiet the way it only does in December
I made this out of a recording of the tram outside my flat
Slowed down until it sounded like a room with nobody in it
Chorus
Snow static, soft on the line
Nothing has to happen for a while
Put it on and let the evening go
Snow static, and the city moving slow
Verse 2
You have not slept properly since the end of October
You answer every message in eleven seconds flat
So here is fourteen hundred milliseconds of nothing
Repeated until it's long enough to put your phone down
There is no message in this one, there is nothing you should do
It's just a room, a window and a friend who noticed you
Chorus
Snow static, soft on the line
Nothing has to happen for a while
Put it on and let the evening go
Snow static, and the city moving slow
Bridge
Somewhere underneath all of it there is a small piano
It only plays three notes and it plays them out of time
That's my old keyboard, the one with the broken key
I left it in on purpose so that you would know it's me
Outro
Snow static, soft on the line
Merry Christmas, Jorin — take the evening, take your time
