Whispers of Regret: Zion Jacobs' Cold Wind Story
Lyrics
The cold wind blows, when you're a thousand miles from home
The feeling of loneliness and desolation is emphasized by the metaphor of a cold wind blowing when far away from home.
So where to roam, when there's only one way I know

So hold your breath, cuz we're drowning in our regret

Don't lose your head, I'll be wading in this blood I bled

You held me close so I could feel the heat of this star-crossed thing called romance

And as I met your eyes under the bedroom lights I knew I found my partner to dance
