A Cold Day in December
Unwavering Resolve Against Lost Love
Lyrics
We try hard to hold on too
We make a sincere effort to hold onto the relationship.
You lost your patience and I lost my mind
Your patience ran out, and I lost my emotional stability.
Now you asked me would I go through it
You inquire if I would endure the pain again if you returned.
If you came back one more time.
Asking if I would consider restarting the relationship if you came back once more.
It'll be a cold day in December
Expressing extreme skepticism, suggesting it's highly unlikely.
It'll be a hot day in mid July
Emphasizing the improbability, using extreme weather conditions as metaphors.
Or a cool night in late September
Continuing the metaphorical expression, reinforcing the reluctance to try again.
Before I give our love another try.
Stating the reluctance to give the relationship another chance.
Just as sure as California
Asserting the certainty of the previous statements, comparing it to a known fact.
Has a white Atlantic shore
Using California's geography as a metaphor for the certainty of not wanting the person again.
And a long eastern sunset
Continuing the geographical metaphor, emphasizing the finality of the decision.
I won't want you for anymore.
Declaring that there won't be any desire for the person anymore.
It'll be a cold day in December
Reiterating the strong reluctance to revive the relationship.
It'll be a hot day in mid July
Repeating the metaphorical expression to emphasize the unlikelihood.
Or a cool night in late September
Reinforcing the reluctance using different weather conditions as metaphors.
Before I give our love another try.
Affirming the steadfast decision not to give love another chance.
There will be icebergs in the arctic ocean
Introducing new metaphors, emphasizing the rarity of reconsidering the relationship.
There will be seashells in the Florida pan
Using seashells in Florida as a metaphor for the unusual occurrence of reconsideration.
And an old heart with in me beatin'
Describing the speaker's heart as old but still beating, indicating resilience despite reluctance.
Before I ever take you back again.
A strong declaration that taking the person back is extremely unlikely.
It'll be a cold day in December
Repeating the earlier sentiments about the unlikelihood of restarting the relationship.
It'll be a hot day in mid July
Emphasizing the rarity using extreme weather conditions as metaphors.
Or a cool night in late September
Reiterating the reluctance to give love another chance.
Before I give our love another try
A final assertion of the strong unwillingness to revive the relationship.
