Lyrics
It's snowing in December, while I warm and wait for you
Describing waiting in December, contrasting warmth and anticipation for someone's arrival.
In the Back Bay metro lobby, at the age of twenty-two
Specific location (Back Bay metro lobby) and age reference (twenty-two) indicating a setting and time.
cs you come up from the tunnel, I'm all turned around and tight
Feeling disoriented or anxious upon the person's arrival from the tunnel.
We jump on another metro and descend into the night
Continuing the journey together into the night using the metro.
(oh what a night)
An expression of excitement or significance regarding the night's events.
I could hardly count the hours ‘till the train rolled on through
Anxious anticipation before the train's arrival.
But all I measure now is making one turn into two
Focusing on moments passing and realizing their impact on the relationship.
Thirty-three after the hour, we arrive to wait in line
Arrival time and waiting in line, possibly indicating patience and commitment.
The Early bird digs up the worm and early fish catches the line
Metaphorical reference to early action leading to favorable outcomes.
(it catches the line)
Reiteration of the metaphor about early action and its consequences.
There's no rudiment to reason in this realm of love
Suggesting love doesn't always follow logical patterns or reasons.
Sometimes you feel something just because
Emphasizing that emotions can be felt without a clear rationale.
In the backwoods where we wandered, through the morning mist
Depicting a scene in a rustic area with mist, possibly romantic.
The dawn had barely broken before you blessed me with a kiss
A moment of affection shared early in the day.
The day was on fast forward when I wished I could hit rewind
Desiring to rewind time to a moment of realization about their connection.
To the moment that I knew your heart was one with mine
Recognizing the moment when their hearts aligned.
(oh what a time)
Expressing the significance and beauty of that particular time.
There's no rudiment to reason in the realm of love
Repeating the idea that love doesn't always have a clear logic.
Sometimes you feel something just because
Reaffirming the notion that emotions in love can't always be explained.
You're caught up in a feeling, the reason for your being
Being engrossed in feelings without clear understanding but feeling content.
You and I are just enough
Realization that both individuals together complete each other.
In this realm of love
Reiterating that love operates beyond rationale in this realm.
I wish I could hold on to those simple memories
Wishing to hold onto simple moments and feeling the best self with the person.
With you I felt like the better parts of me
Feeling enhanced by the relationship, improving as a person.
For so long i thought of us as an evergreen
Initially seeing the relationship as evergreen, eternal and enduring.
But as these leaves fall down I see
Realization that things have changed as represented by falling leaves.
Yet these feelings I can't free
Feeling trapped by emotions that cannot be let go.
This past train home hit different
Feeling a different impact or emotion on the way back home.
I know that I was feeling strange
Experiencing a sense of unfamiliarity or discomfort.
Thinking of our last times on the metro
Reflecting on past moments together on the metro and acknowledging change.
cnd how everything has changed
Recognizing the transformation in the relationship.
I look out of the window
Looking outside and seeing a symbol of what the relationship was perceived to be.
I see the tree I thought we were
Realizing that their experiences have merged, becoming indistinct.
Our times just blend together
Times spent together blending and becoming less distinct or memorable.
cnd it all becomes a blur
Feeling a sense of sadness or longing for the past.
Oh I miss her
Expressing missing the person.
