Story Behind The Song
A dysfunctional couple has differing views on both their relationship and the world around them. As the seasons change, their relationship fades. They both know, but don't want to openly acknowledge, that the coming cold will also bring with it a silent, fading end to their relationship.
Song Description
A dysfunctional couple has differing views on both their relationship and the world around them. As the seasons change, their relationship fades. They both know, but don't want to openly acknowledge, that the coming cold will also bring with it a silent, fading end to their relationship.
The song has a laid-back folk feel with guitar, some strings, chimes, and other easy-listening sounds. The chorus is only sung once, to symbolize the reluctance of the couple to openly face the ending of their relationship.
The lyrics are written in an ambiguous and passive perspective, also symbolizing the ambiguity of the dysfunctional relationship.

Lyrics
Verse:
Trap yourself under a blanket
Grab your coat, turn up the heat
Check to see if the rain's stopped yet
The temperature feels fine to me
Chorus:
You say you love the rain
You say you love the sun
You say you love the wind
You say you love me, oh
Bridge:
Autumn leaves, they flock to me, and call me back home
But show me that everything's changed, yeah
And fall will turn to biting lights, and you will turn to
The cold side of the pillow, never comfortable at home
