Chills Lyrics
Coat, laying on the floor
Long December nights are what I've been waitin' for
Pull my hand close to the fire
[Pre-Chorus: Jack Avery]
Shiverin', I'm shiverin', I can't stop
Give me the look, you know the one I want
I've been waiting for
It's so cold, it's so cold, yeah
[Chorus: Zach Herron]
I got chills when you walk
Chills when you talk
Chills every time you say my name
It's the way that it feels when we touch
I can't get enough
Love got me frozen in place
[Post-Chorus: Zach Herron, Corbyn Besson & Daniel Seavey]
Baby, I got chills
Ooh, baby, I got chills
Ooh, baby, I got chills (Yeah)
[Verse 2: Daniel Seavey]
Arms wrapped around my neck ('Round my neck)
You keep me warm
You are the spark igniting me again
Oh, I can't get enough of you, I'm (You, I'm)
Shiverin', I'm shiverin', I can't stop
Give me the look, you know the one I want
I've been waiting for (Ooh)
It's so cold, it's so cold, yeah (It's so cold, it's so cold, yeah)
[Chorus: Zach Herron, Zach Herron & Jack Avery]
I got chills when you walk
Chills when you talk
Chills every time you say my name
It's the way that it feels when we touch
I can't get enough
Love got me frozen in place
[Post-Chorus: Zach Herron, Corbyn Besson, Daniel Seavey & Jonah Marais]
Baby, I got chills (Baby, I got chills)
Ooh, baby, I got chills (Ooh, baby, I got chills)
Ooh, baby, I got chills (I got chills, I got)
[Verse 3: Jonah Marais & Corbyn Besson]
I think about you every second of the day
My heart used to be so cold, the world used to be so gray
And I know seasons change, but it felt like it never would
No one seemed to understand me but you understood
We could be royalty, I'll be your prince, yeah
Give you that loyalty, don't matter the distance
I'ma love you for who you are 'cause I like that you're different
Tell me anything you wanna say and I'll sit back and listen
Ah, yeah (Ooh, yeah)
And I know we're living busier days
And life be moving so fast, I feel like everything's changin'
But when we kiss, I feel a jump in my heart
The same feeling that I felt from the start (Ooh)
Yeah, baby, I got
[Outro: Zach Herron, Corbyn Besson, Daniel Seavey & Jonah Marais]
I got chills (I got chills, no, oh no no, oh no no)
Ooh, baby, I got chills (Ooh yeah, I got chills)
Ooh, baby, I got chills (Ooh yeah, I got chills)
Oh woah, oh woah, ooh-ooh
Ooh, baby, I got chills
