Lyrics

Where you gonna go in your winter coat?

Questioning where someone will go while dressed for winter.

I wonder what you're hiding cause it's not too cold

Curiosity about what the person is concealing since it's not excessively cold.

It's already too late

Implying that a significant event or decision has already passed.

Somebody's gonna get you

Suggesting that someone is in danger or may be caught by something.


And if I hold you too tight

If the speaker holds onto someone tightly, another person won't have the chance.

Someone else won't get to

Expressing a consequence of the speaker's actions on others.

Oh, wouldn't you know it?

Reflecting on the irony or unpredictability of the situation.

I keep it rolling

Continuing or maintaining something despite circumstances.

Considering no one

Reflecting on the absence or disregard of others.

Punching a path

Describing forging ahead despite obstacles.

Facing the blast and the moon and the math

Confronting difficulties, possibly harsh conditions, and complexity.

But you still never know where your soul is attached

Uncertainty about where one's true essence or spirit belongs.


Oh, wouldn't you know it?

Reiterating the earlier irony or unpredictability of the situation.

Ah, wouldn't you know it?

-

I'm so confused

Expressing a state of being mentally puzzled or perplexed.

I can't move

Feeling emotionally stuck or unable to make a decision.

I can't even try

Feeling incapacitated to even attempt anything.


I hope you find someone to lose

Expressing hope that the person will find someone to lose in the future.

Someday

Indicating "someday" as the potential time for finding someone to lose.


Now where you gonna go like a cobra coiled

Describing someone's posture or demeanor akin to a coiled cobra.

Sweating in a sweater, you got too much style

Indicating that despite the person's stylish appearance, they seem uncomfortable.

But you're never alone

Assuring the person is not alone despite appearances.

Some day they're gonna get you

Suggesting a future inevitability of being caught or discovered.


I hope you find someone to lose

Reiteration of the desire for the person to find someone to eventually lose.

Someday

Indicating "someday" as the potential time for finding someone to lose.

I hope you find

Expressing hope for the person to find someone they'll eventually lose.

I hope you find someone to lose

Ah, wait
