Getting older and trying to remember how you got there. The chorus seems to suggest a recollection of wild youthful nights filled with drama, and to appreciate that they made you feel alive. Drama is better than nothingness, of course.
The imagery in the second verse reminds me of "My Blue Manhattan," with its snow to cover the ugliness of the city. But when the snow begins to blacken, that illusion of innocence is lost.
The twist in the lyrics of the final chorus represents the hope in this song, and I like it very much.
She keeps telling me I'm "unlucky". But this song keeps making me smile.
I agree with your assessment, David. Even though things may not be the way they used to be, and we are not the same people we were, we're lucky to still be here....to have the chance at living today and chosing to be happy. In a similar vein, check out James McMurtry - Just Us Kids. Not his best song, cuz many of them are sheer genius, but a cool track nonetheless.
