Cold Shower Philosophy

Lyrics

Fourth night of the heat and the sleep won't come
Sweat on the pillow, mind going numb
Stand in the shower with the water turned cold
Thinking about the stories that I never told
Pops used to say that a hot head burns
Cool down, young man, everybody learns
Hands on the tile, let the water run
Washing off the day and the things I've done

Cold water, clear mind
Leave the heat of yesterday behind

Cold shower philosophy, let it pour
Wash it all off, I don't need no more
Heat on the skin, truth in the stream
Waking up slowly from a fever dream
Cold shower philosophy, breathe it in
Every ending is where a clear start begins

Rent on my mind and the fan's on the fritz
Neighbor's singing loudly, off-key but it fits
Bills on the table, hope on the shelf
Tell the truth in the mirror, talk to myself
I forgave the ones who never said sorry
Carrying the grudge made my shoulders sorry
Let it go down the drain with the soap and the sweat
Lighter on my feet than I've been in a bit, yet

Cold water, clear mind
Leave the heat of yesterday behind

Cold shower philosophy, let it pour
Wash it all off, I don't need no more
Heat on the skin, truth in the stream
Waking up slowly from a fever dream
Cold shower philosophy, breathe it in
Every ending is where a clear start begins

Towel on my shoulder, window open wide
Warm night breeze carries the tide
I ain't got it figured but I'm learning how
To stand in the quiet and be here now

Morning comes pink on the edge of the roof
Coffee in my hand and a little bit of proof
That a long hot night can end in a calm
Steady in my chest like a prayer, like a psalm

Cold shower philosophy, let it pour
Wash it all off, I don't need no more
Heat on the skin, truth in the stream
Waking up slowly from a fever dream
Cold shower philosophy, breathe it in
Every ending is where a clear start begins

Let it pour, let it pour
Clear start, clear start
