Lyrics
woke up in your bed
Woke up in the speaker's partner's bed.
when you turned me around
Partner physically turned the speaker around to communicate.
said the schools were closed
Partner informed about school closures due to snow.
locked me in your house
Partner confined the speaker within their house.
christening that place as a hallowed ground
The place was marked as special or sacred by the partner.
seemed so silly then
Initially seemed trivial or nonsensical.
but it's obvious now
However, now it's clear and understandable.
pull the covers off
Removed the covers from the bed.
put your snow pants on
Prepared for the snow by wearing snow pants.
roll a cigarette
Rolled a cigarette.
run into the yard
Went out into the yard.
with my lenses out and the snow coming down
The speaker went out without their glasses while it was snowing.
it wasn't so clear then
Things were unclear initially.
but it's obvious now
Now it's evident or understood.
near a year to that day
About a year later from a significant event.
still falling hard
Snowfall is still heavy or intense.
crawling from your house
The speaker is leaving the partner's house feeling emotionally burdened.
with my head in my arms
The speaker feels emotionally overwhelmed and vulnerable.
i'd heard what you did but you spelled it out
Partner explained something hurtful, causing emotional pain.
and it hurt me then
It caused pain in the past and continues to hurt.
and it hurts me now
woke up in my bed
Woke up in the speaker's own bed but in a different emotional state.
in a different state
The speaker's emotional state has changed.
then you moved next door
The partner moved nearby, causing difficulty in avoiding contact.
couldn't get away
The speaker feels unable to escape the proximity of the partner.
i was two years younger
The speaker is reflecting on the age gap between themselves and the partner.
now we're 9 years out
Reflecting on the passage of nine years.
seemed so obvious then
Initially seemed clear and straightforward.
things get complicated
Life situations have become complex.
take a lot of explaining
Require extensive explanation due to increased complexities.
and little by little
Gradual loss of clarity in situations over time.
it's less obvious now
Things have become less evident or understandable over time.
