Lyrics
Feeling faded quickly when I went outside
Feeling a rapid decline in enthusiasm or energy upon stepping outside
Fifteen below freezing, and it seems
Temperature is fifteen degrees below freezing, and it appears to be a lasting cold spell
The snow just might be sticking around this time
Speculation that the snow might endure this time
Should've come prepared
Regret for not being adequately prepared for the cold weather
Settle down, settle in
Expressing a desire to settle down and get comfortable
You know these things take time
Recognition that certain things require time and patience
And I'm nothing if not a patient friend
Self-identification as a patient friend
To everyone but me
Acknowledgment of being patient with others but not oneself
I never learned to layer, never claimed the city
Admission of not learning to layer clothing and not embracing city life
Just flew in a day or two ago
Recent arrival in the city a day or two ago
And I just wanna lay down and pay out all my debts
Desire to rest and settle financial obligations for a new beginning
So my body will accept a new home
Hope that settling debts will pave the way for acceptance of a new home
Settle down and settle in
Reiteration of the desire to settle down and get comfortable
You know these things take time
Reaffirmation that certain things take time
And I'm nothing if not a patient friend
Reiteration of self-identification as a patient friend
To everyone but me
Acknowledgment of being patient with others but not oneself (repeated)
Settle, settle
Emphasis on the act of settling down
Settle for a while
Encouragement to settle and stay for a while
I owe nothing
Declaration of owing nothing to others
To anyone but me
Emphasis on self-reliance and not owing anything to anyone
