Prayin' for a Cold Day
Desperate Hopes: Praying for Love on a Cold Day
Lyrics
VERSE: hard times
Hard times
I've been through them
Experienced difficult situations
So many that my mind quit keeping count
Experienced so many hard times that it's impossible to keep count
Good times
Had some good times
I've had a few man
Experienced enjoyable moments, but unable to recall any at the moment
But I can't think of any right now
Can't currently recall any specific good times
CHORUS: On a cold day in hell she said
Reference to a seemingly impossible situation (a cold day in hell)
She'd come back to me
Expressing hope that someone will return under improbable circumstances
So i'm walking the floor beggin the lord
Feeling desperate and pleading to a higher power for a miraculous event (hell freezing over)
That hell might up and freeze
Desire for an extraordinary event to happen (hell freezing) to facilitate a reunion
Well, it's a desperate situation
Expressing a feeling of hopelessness in the current situation
I've got nothing left to say
Feeling out of words or explanations for the situation
Just sittin round here
Passing time idly, feeling helpless and longing for change
Praying for a Cold Day
Hoping for an extremely unlikely event (a cold day) to change the situation
VERSE: I woke up
Waking up from sleep
Looked out my window
Checking outside, anticipating a specific weather condition (snow)
Hoping for snow but the sun was right on time
Desiring snow, but reality doesn’t meet expectations (sunshine instead)
On our bed
She's physically gone but left behind something intimate (pillow)
She left her pillow
Reminder of her absence through an object she left behind
And her memory's burning holes
Her memory is emotionally affecting and tormenting
Straight through my mind
Her absence deeply affects thoughts and emotions
CHORUS: On a cold day in hell she said
Repetition of hope for an unlikely return in an extreme circumstance
She'd come back to me
Continued hope and plea for her return under improbable conditions
I'm walking the floor beggin the lord that hell might up and freeze
Continued desire for an extraordinary event to facilitate reunion
Well, it's a desperate situation
Emphasizing the severity and hopelessness of the current situation
I've got nothing left to say
Feeling of being unable to express anything meaningful about the situation
I'm just sittin round here
Passing time in a state of longing and helplessness
Praying for a Cold Day
Continued hope for an unlikely event to change circumstances
CHORUS: On a cold day in hell she said
Reiteration of hope for a return under improbable circumstances
She'd come back to me
Continued plea for an improbable event to facilitate reunion
I'm walking the floor beggin the lord that hell might up and freeze
Continued desire for an extraordinary event to change the situation
Well, it's a desperate situation
Emphasizing the severity and desperation of the situation
I've got nothing left to say
Feeling of being unable to articulate anything about the situation
I'm Just sittin round here
Continued state of longing and hoping for change
Praying for a Cold Day
Continued hope for an unlikely event to alter circumstances
