Lyrics
I'm headed up to Iowa
I am traveling to Iowa
It's colder now than I once thought
The weather is colder than expected
The January rain is never ending
Continuous rain in January
The cemetery's nice today
The cemetery looks pleasant today
The snow is painted on the graves
Snow covers the graves like paint
I held your hand when we were in the basement
I held your hand in a basement
Don't you know
Expressing surprise or disbelief
I'm falling on the snow
Falling on the snow
On the cold snow
Falling on cold snow
I know
Acknowledging awareness
There's a lot to let you know
There's a lot to communicate
What we both know
Referring to shared knowledge between individuals
The light reflecting off the snow
Light reflecting on snow softens the ground
It gives the ground a softer glow
Days seem confusing due to long duration
The days are long enough to seem confusing
Describing swollen, cold fingers
Swollen little fingers that are cold
Expressing difficulty in touching and holding
And hard to touch and hard to hold
Hoping difficulties won't prevent connection
But I should hope that doesn't stop you
Positive sentiment despite challenges
I woke up in the morning on your couch
Waking up on a couch in the morning
You weren't awake I left the house
Leaving the house while the other person is still asleep
And walked around your little city
Exploring the city
Here I go
Expressing movement or departure
But i'm falling on the snow
Falling on the snow
On the cold snow
Falling on cold snow
Don't you know
Reiterating surprise or disbelief
I'm in love with the way you glow
In love with the other person's glowing presence
Like the cold snow
Comparing the glow to cold snow
