Somebody to Hold
Winter's Embrace: Longing for Connection in Wolfe Ramsay's 'Somebody to Hold'
Lyrics
Those summer nights when it was just you and me
Reflecting on past summer nights spent together.
She said don’t worry I’ll be here if you need
Assurance from the other person about being there in times of need.
But now time has passed and we don’t speak
The passage of time has strained the relationship, leading to silence.
I sent a text and it’s been unread for weeks
Unanswered text messages, indicating a lack of communication.
Winter came and froze your heart
Metaphorical reference to a cold and distant emotional state.
It tore me apart
The emotional impact of the separation is described as tearing apart.
I didn’t want to change
Resistance to change, a desire to maintain the status quo.
We went our separate ways
The relationship has ended, and both individuals have chosen different paths.
And I know that you don’t want to see me again
Acknowledging the other person's reluctance to reconnect.
But I hope that the snow clears and we can be friends
Expressing hope for reconciliation once the obstacles are overcome.
Cause this storm it goes on forever it don’t end
Describing the ongoing emotional turmoil as a perpetual storm.
And imma need someone to hold
Expressing the need for emotional support and comfort.
Somebody to hold
Reiterating the desire for someone to hold during difficult times.
She got someone new but now she wants to leave
Reference to the ex-partner having a new relationship but contemplating leaving it.
She told her friends that she is still missing me
Indication that the ex-partner still has feelings for the speaker.
I won’t trust her now we’re in too deep
Expressing distrust and the realization that going back is not advisable.
I can’t go back you know I’m not that naive
Acknowledging a lack of naivety in considering reconciliation.
Winter came and froze your heart
Reiteration of the emotional impact of winter on the ex-partner's heart.
It tore me apart
Re-emphasizing the emotional pain caused by the separation.
I didn’t want to change
Resistance to change and the decision to go separate ways.
We went our separate ways
Confirmation of the divergence of paths taken.
And I know that you don’t want to see me again
Acknowledging the other person's reluctance to reconnect.
But I hope that the snow clears and we can be friends
Expressing hope for reconciliation once the obstacles are overcome.
Cause this storm it goes on forever it don’t end
Describing the ongoing emotional turmoil as a perpetual storm.
And imma need someone to hold
Expressing the need for emotional support and comfort.
Somebody to hold
Reiterating the desire for someone to hold during difficult times.
I hate that I still miss you I hate that you want me back
Expressing frustration about still missing the ex-partner and their desire to reconcile.
Can’t take anymore issues this seems fake just after all of that
Feeling overwhelmed by the issues and questioning the authenticity of the situation.
All I ever wanted was somebody I could trust
Expressing the original desire for trust in a relationship.
But we haven’t talked in so long that our words have turned to rust
Highlighting the deterioration of communication over time.
Oh oh

Winter came and froze your heart

It tore me apart
Re-emphasizing the emotional pain caused by the separation.

And I know that you don’t want to see me again

Expressing hope for reconciliation once the obstacles are overcome.
Cause this storm it goes on forever it don’t end

And imma need someone to hold
Expressing the need for emotional support and comfort.
