Lyrics
Warm house, cold hands
Expressing the contrast between a warm house and the speaker's cold hands, suggesting a sense of discomfort or unease.
I was standing outside trying to find your doorbell
Describing the speaker's attempt to locate the doorbell at someone's home, setting the scene for a visit.
At 2 AM, I ran all the way hope that you weren't sleeping
Recounting the speaker's late-night journey, running to the destination with the hope that the person is still awake.
You rubbed your eyes
Depicting the other person rubbing their eyes, possibly in response to the late-night visit.
Gently with the palm of your left hand
Describing the gentle action of rubbing eyes with the left hand, creating a tender moment.
We talked awhile
Narrating a conversation between the speaker and the other person.
And you told me how much you appreciated me
The other person expressing appreciation for the speaker.
And I knew that it was time for me to stay or leave
The speaker realizing a decision point, whether to stay or leave, as the conversation unfolds.
So I started walking home
The speaker choosing to leave and starting the journey back home.
Sowing teardrops in the snow
Symbolic imagery of tears falling like drops in the snow, expressing emotional pain.
We'll be friends forever
Expressing a commitment to a lasting friendship despite romantic uncertainties.
But I'm afraid that you'll never love me
The speaker's fear that the other person may never reciprocate romantic feelings.
You met someone
Revealing that the other person has found someone new.
At that show when you went home for the weekend
Referencing a specific event when the other person met someone during a weekend visit.
And he makes you laugh

And somehow I remind you a little of him
Suggesting a resemblance between the speaker and the new person in some way.
Two perfect hands
Describing positive qualities of the new person, including perfect hands and a part-time job.
A part time job but says that he loves children
Noting that the new person claims to love children, adding to their favorable attributes.
But I lost my tongue
Expressing the speaker's speechlessness or inability to communicate effectively.
Until now you never felt that you'd missed anyone
Revealing that until now, the other person did not feel the absence or longing for anyone.
And even though it's early you think it could be love
Despite the early stage, the other person is considering the possibility that their feelings for the new person could be love.
Another heartsick lullaby but I can't seem to make you cry
Acknowledging the emotional struggle of the speaker, unable to evoke tears despite the heartache.
We'll be friends forever, but I'm afraid that you'll never love me

Does he love you?

Does he love you?

I hope he loves you

If he doesn't

At least you'll have beautiful children

Beautiful children
Concluding with a repetition of the idea of having beautiful children as a consolation.
