Lyrics
Street light on snowy sidewalk
Setting: Snowy sidewalk under a streetlight.
Waiting for the right time to call
Contemplating the right time to make a call.
I don't wanna be left in dust
Fear of being left behind, not wanting to be ignored.
But it's hard to get back on my feet
Struggling to recover and stand up again.
Feeling empty and nervous and weak
Experiencing emptiness, nervousness, and weakness.
But Snow Days make it ok to sleep
Snow days provide solace, making it acceptable to rest.
And watch TV
Taking solace in watching TV during snow days.
Lights will collide on your face
Imagery of lights colliding on someone's face.
And the sparkles will shine from your eyes
Sparkles in the eyes, suggesting a positive, magical feeling.
As the feeling rushes down to your feet
Sensory experience as positive feelings flow down to the feet.
Mercy
Expressing a sense of mercy or compassion.
I'll be alright for now
Reassurance that things will be fine, at least for the moment.
Is there still time to chase the dream
Questioning if there's still time to pursue dreams.
With all our good years growing lean
Acknowledging the challenges as good years become lean.
I know what I could've done
Regret over missed opportunities and what could have been.
But to cut off start over again
Considering a fresh start but with the cost of goodbyes.
Means saying goodbye to my friends
Letting go of the past, including friends, to start anew.
But Snow Days help me forget my head
Snow days provide a mental escape, helping forget troubles.
Come and take my hand
Inviting someone to take their hand, possibly for support.
Lights will collide on your face
Reiteration of the positive imagery of lights and sparkles.
And the sparkles will shine from your eyes
As the feeling rushes down to your feet
Repeating the positive sensory experience and the plea for mercy.
Mercy
Find us
Searching for meaning or purpose.
Lost on an ocean
Feeling lost in a vast, uncertain situation (ocean).
Sailing from
Metaphorical journey away from where one was born.
Where we born
