The Cold Weather
Evidence Lyrics

It's everyone's intrest and the weather
The weather affects everyone and is always of interest to people

Here it is this is the cold weather
The current weather is very cold

So get your cloak and umbrella
Prepare for the cold weather by wearing appropriate clothing and bringing an umbrella

(THIS IS) The cold weather
Repeating the fact that it is currently very cold

Coats and umbrellas

Cats and dogs, coats and umbrellas

Umbrellas up to the sky

(That's what I mean by now
Reiterating the fact that it is currently very cold outside

I'm on my way home)

Exhale, that was halftime

So beat me down

But couldn't get the best of Michael
A reference to Michael Jordan, implying that the singer is so skilled at their craft that even their critics can't bring them down

From next town I came back a new recital
