December Up North
December Up North: Love in a Snow Globe Beyond Distance
Lyrics
Hey! How's Christmas up north
Asking about Christmas in a northern region.
It must be nice living in a snow globe
Imagining the pleasantness of living in a snow-covered place.
Here, there's still some warmth
Indicating some warmth remaining in the singer's location.
There's not much ice closing down all our roads
Not much icy weather causing road closures.
Hey! I hope you're well
Expressing well wishes to the listener.
Stayin inside, safe and sound
Suggesting staying indoors for safety.
I hope you're happy
Wishing happiness for the listener.
Playing all the records, I gave to you when you're in town
Encouraging listening to records given by the singer.
'Cause One day we'll be family or we'll just be friends
Speculating about the future relationship with the listener.
If it's that last one I hope that this snowstorm never ends
Hoping the stormy relationship never ends.
Yeah, December up north
Reiterating the singer's thoughts about December in a northern region.
It must be nice
Reemphasizing the pleasantness of living in a snow globe-like place.
Lovin in a snow globe that's twice my town's size
Comparing the listener's environment to a larger, idyllic snow globe.
So tell yourself
Encouraging self-assurance amidst challenges.
That the glass won't break in and fall
Reassuring the listener that the situation won't deteriorate.
And if you're not happy
Addressing the listener's happiness and potential responsibility.
It's not any fault of mine at all
Denying responsibility for the listener's unhappiness.
Hey! How's life in the clouds
Inquiring about life in a seemingly idealistic situation.
It must be nice being so naive
Suggesting naivety or innocence in the listener's situation.
From here, it looks like that glass ceiling
Perceiving a figurative glass ceiling obstructing connection.
Is all that's between you and me
Reflecting on missed familial opportunities due to circumstances.
Yeah we could have been family, but never again
Resigned acknowledgment of the missed chance for a relationship.
'Cause that snowstorm came roaring and ripped me up again
Recalling a snowstorm that caused emotional distress.
Yeah December up north
Reiterating thoughts on December in a northern place.
It must be nice
Repeating the comparison of the listener's life to a snow globe, causing emotional harm.
Lying in a snow globe and hurting me twice
Sending Christmas greetings to those in a different, seemingly ideal place.
Merry Christmas up north
Contrasting preparations for rainy weather instead of snow.
From all those below
Reiterating reassurance regarding the integrity of the figurative glass.
Putting raincoats on instead of shoes for the snow
Denying responsibility for the listener's unhappiness, similar to earlier lines.
So tell yourself
Repeating the sentiment of the glass not breaking and causing harm.
That the glass won't break in and fall
Addressing the listener's happiness and potential responsibility, similar to earlier lines.
And if you're not happy
Denying responsibility for the listener's unhappiness, similar to earlier lines.
It's not any fault of mine at all
Reiterating denial of responsibility for the listener's unhappiness.
