Cold October
Farewell Under Cold October Skies
Lyrics
Well I've been wearin' out the roads
Expressing the weariness from extensive travel or experiences
I've been doing it baby
Acknowledging the actions performed, possibly with a partner
Doing it alone
Emphasizing the solo nature of the journey
And I don't want to lose you
Expressing a desire to keep the relationship despite difficulties
But I'm letting you go
Acceptance of letting go, despite the reluctance
I know that's not what you want to hear
Acknowledging the listener's probable displeasure
But just give it a couple years
Suggesting the need for time and patience in the situation
No tellin' how far that you'll go
Uncertainty about the future, acknowledging unpredictability
No I don't want to lose you
Reiteration of not wanting to lose the relationship
But I'm letting you go
Confirmation of the decision to let go
And I wish that we could start again
Expressing a desire for a fresh start in the relationship
But that's just not how chapters end
Recognizing that starting anew may not be possible
And I promise there'll be warmer days
Promising better days ahead despite the current challenges
But the moon is high and the leaves have changed
Describing a season change, metaphorically reflecting a difficult time
And it's a Cold October tonight
Highlighting the current emotional state, associating it with a cold October night
No I don't want to lose you
Reiterating the reluctance to let go
But I'm letting you go
Confirmation of the decision to release the relationship
And I wish that we could start again
Expressing a wish for a different outcome in the relationship
But that's just not how chapters end
Acknowledging the inevitability of certain endings
And I promise there'll be warmer days
Reassurance of better times ahead despite the current challenges
But the moon is high and the leaves have changed
Reiteration of the seasonal metaphor, suggesting a transformative period
And it's a Cold October
Emphasizing the current emotional state, associating it with a cold October night
It's Cold October tonight
Reaffirmation of the emotional chill in the current moment
