Lyrics
Emphasizing the present moment
I listed all my wants and needs
Listing personal desires and necessities
And I checked them off as I thought of us
Connecting the listed items with thoughts about the relationship
Don't throw this away
Requesting not to discard the relationship
Don't throw me away
Expressing the fear of being rejected or abandoned
We've got enough time to last a lifetime
Highlighting the perceived abundance of time in the relationship
it's snowing out of season
Metaphorically describing an unusual or unexpected situation
And you're the reason
Attributing the unusual situation to the presence or influence of the listener
Its snowing out of season
Reiterating the unexpected nature of the situation
Listen to my heart
Inviting the listener to pay attention to the singer's emotions
Should have shook your hand
Expressing a sense of regret or missed opportunity
Instead of holding it
Reflecting on physical contact as a symbolic gesture
Should have been sleeping
Acknowledging a lapse in judgment or action
Now I miss you more than I would ever
Conveying intensified feelings of longing or missing someone
