about
A concise little acoustic song about making the best of it, whatever the situation.
lyrics
When the temperature is right
I'll go out on the town in my t-shirt for the night
And I'll feel the wind upon my skin without the shakes and shiverin'
When the temperature is wrong
I'll put my jacket on
When love is here
I'll do my very best not to squander it in fear
I'll let it sink into my bones, stop worrying 'bout where it might go
When love is gone
I'll turn that pain into a song
When love is gone
Well I've got to carry on, so I'll go out on the town and sing my song
And if the temperature is wrong
I'll put my jacket on
