[Intro]
Yeah, cold air, coat zipped
North side, still

[Verse 1]
Meet me by the plaza when the shutters come down
Bus brakes hiss, last route rolling through town
You talk big numbers, but the math don’t land
I keep both feet where I said I would stand
Phone on one bar, still the whole team checks in
Old friends turn quiet when the new plans begin
No borrowed shine, no story for show
Just late shifts stacked till the clean days grow

[Chorus]
North wind bite, but we move on time
No loose ends, every word in line
If you know that road, keep your head on straight
Doors stay shut till we set that gate

[Verse 2]
Corner store light on a salt-stained sleeve
You want quick wins, I want room to breathe
Plans in a notebook, dates in a row
Some say “next year,” we say “let’s go”
One call, one check, then I’m back out the door
Same plain coat, but the aim’s much more
Quiet when I work, let the proof speak first
Built from the days when the cupboards were sparse

[Chorus]
North wind bite, but we move on time
No loose ends, every word in line
If you know that road, keep your head on straight
Doors stay shut till we set that gate

[Outro]
North side, still
Keep it moving
