Lyrics
You used to come, come around the house
You used to visit our home.
Now everything you've got, it's gone cold
Now everything you possessed has lost warmth or emotional connection.
And everyone who I have ever loved
Refers to the people the speaker has loved throughout their life.
Everyone is getting old
Everyone, including those loved, is aging.
You go, go
You leave.
And you don't come back
Departure is final; there's no return.
I used to see you driving round the town
The speaker used to see the person driving in town.
You and your children always smiled
The person and their children used to show happiness.
Now all the things I hold dear to me
Things dear to the speaker are now breaking apart.
Are falling off in pieces
Refers to the disintegration of cherished elements in the speaker's life.
You go, go
You leave again.
And you don't come back
Similar to line 7, departure is emphasized without return.
You used to come fixing round the house
The person used to come and fix things around the house.
Now all your things are getting cold
Now, their belongings lack warmth or connection.
And everyone who I have ever loved
Repetition of the theme of aging and its impact on relationships.
Everyone is getting old
Everyone, including loved ones, is experiencing the passage of time.
You go, go
Departure is reiterated, highlighting its permanence.
And you don't come back
There is no returning after leaving.
