How Cool
Emotional Crossroads: Matthew Sweet's Reflections on Love and Departure
Lyrics
The way that you remember there was nothing to say
The speaker recalls a past situation where there was a lack of communication or nothing significant to discuss.
So you threw your arms around me, threw your arms around me
Describes a moment when physical affection, represented by throwing arms around, was used despite the lack of conversation.
Girl you shouldn't think that I've got nowhere to go
The speaker reassures the girl that he has other options or places to go.
But I'll tell you how I felt if you really want to know
Expresses willingness to share feelings if the girl genuinely wants to know.
How warm in the morning when you asked me to stay
Recalls a warm morning moment when the girl asked the speaker to stay.
And how cool in the evening when you sent me away
Contrasts the warmth of the morning with a cool evening memory when the girl sent the speaker away.
We were right in the middle I was ready to say
Describes being in a crucial moment, ready to express feelings.
How cool in the evening when you sent me away
Reiterates the coolness of the evening when the girl asked the speaker to leave.
Baby when you touch me with that look in your eye
Highlights the impact of the girl's touch, particularly the look in her eye.
I can feel the air around me, feel the air around me
Sensory perception of feeling the air around when touched by the girl.
Close enough to whisper, as I soon hope to be
Expresses physical proximity, suggesting a desire to be even closer in the future.
I'll wrap some words around you if that'll make you see
Offers to use words to convey feelings, emphasizing a willingness to communicate.
How warm in the morning when you asked me to stay
Recalls a warm morning when the girl requested the speaker to stay.
And how cool in the evening when you sent me away

We were right in the middle I was ready to say

How cool in the evening when you sent me away
