Lyrical Analysis of...
Cold Nights, Warm Arms
- **COLD NIGHTS, WARM ARMS**
- Intro (soft, Auto Tune hum)
- Yeah —midnight talkin', city lights blink slow,
- You my shelter when the winters blow.
- Verse 1 (melodic, intimate)
- Used to count the nights I couldn't call your name,
- Sirens in the distance, but you whisper like a flame.
- You seen me at my lowest, still stayed by my side,
- Stacked my heavy secrets, never ran, you never lied.
- Paper thin protection, but your heart kept me warm,
- On these concrete pillows you kept me from the storm.
- Tell me how we made it, when the odds said fold,
- You my real one, shawty, not a story to be sold.
- Pre Chorus (rising)
- We ride through cold winds with our hands intertwined,
- Every bruise in my past you turned into a sign.
- When the city turned its back and the lights went dim,
- You held every scar like it belonged to them.
- Chorus (melodic, hooky)
- Cold nights, warm arms —you keep me right, baby, right,
- Through the fights, through the storms, you the light in my life.
- Cold world, your heart's a fire that I can't deny,
- You my peace in the pavement, my reason why.
- Verse 2 (gritty, confessional)
- Got a ledger full of losses, but you balance it with love,
- You pray for all my demons when the moon ain't givin' us enough.
- Seen me hustle with a hollow in the soul of my chain,
- Saw me sinkin', then you taught me how to swim through the pain.
- Neighbors judge the love they never really know,
- But they ain't been through winters where the cold winds blow.
- I promise every sunrise, every beat before I go,
- I put your name on trophies that this life can't show.
- Bridge (breathy, emotional)
- If the world fall apart, we gon' glue it back with vows,
- If the nights get colder, we'll heat 'em with our vows.
- Hold me close, speak soft, let the streets talk their noise,
- We built peace from pieces, you my calm, my choice.
- Chorus (wider, harmonies)
- Cold nights, warm arms —you keep me right, baby, right,
- Through the fights, through the storms, you the light in my life.
- Cold world, your heart's a fire that I can't deny,
- You my peace in the pavement, my reason why.
- Outro (fading, intimate)
- Yeah —when the lights fade and the city sleeps,
- You the promise that I keep.
- Cold nights, warm arms —forever on my mind,
- You my home, shawty, till the end of time.
