[Verse 1]
There's a warmth
In the coldness of the room
All the cars going by
Are like people on the move
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold your breath
Count to ten, it's okay to feel so small
Let it out, take it in
And do it all over again
[Chorus]
Isn't it nice to be all by yourself?
Walls don't say words
My secrets, they won't tell
These quiet motions
My favorite moments
Take my advice
Isn't it nice?
Isn't it nice?
[Verse 2]
All the plans are laid out
And I'm gonna stick around
But the days, they will blur
Soon it's twenty years from now
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold your breath
Count to ten, you don't need to carry it all
Let it go, take it in
And do it all over again
[Chorus]
Isn't it nice to be all by yourself?
Walls don't say words
My secrets, they won't tell
These quiet motions
My favorite moments
Take my advice
Isn't it nice?
Isn't it nice?
[Outro]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
