Cold Hands (Warm Heart) Lyrics

Cold hands, warm heart
We just need some time apart
And everything will be okay
Oh no, not again
Why does it always happen?
It seems like every other day

You're too quiet, I'm too loud
Now we've hit a storm cloud
I'll see you on the other side
Old habits, young ways
Maybe we're just in a phase
But we can say we really tried

And it really shouldn't be this hard
You know it really shouldn't be
And if we can only see it this far
Well then I hate to say it, but it's obvious
I'm telling you, girl, there's no future for us

All talk, no action
So what's the big attraction?
And don't tell me it's "just because"
All work, no play
Don't wanna go on this way
I wanna go back to the way it was

And it really shouldn't be this hard
You know it really shouldn't be
And if we can only take it this far
Well then we've got to end it before it's too late
The love that is left turns quickly to hate

Cold hands, warm heart
We just need some time apart
And everything will be okay

i love love that his lyrics are so simple but true, and it doesnt take a genius to know he's talking about a relationship thats not working and needs to end. But who could have put it so elegantly? I'm new to BB, but I'm an instant fan.

What's the instrument that starts off the song? A xylophone? I think that such a simple sound really complements the simplicity of the whole piece.

In the end, love hurts. Love isn't easy. Love is a lot of work. Nothing about it comes automatically.

I love this song because it captures a sense of loss, of grief, but at the same time, it's got a thread of cheery hope binding it. It seems to capture the hurt of love so well.

My Opinion
Cover art for Cold Hands (Warm Heart) lyrics by Brendan Benson

no one has mentioned the most obvious part of the lyrics, the title. It simply means they both have the HEART to want it but their hands are cold, meaning they just do not have the right sexual chemistry or that the intimacy is weird because something isn't right anymore. been through this exactly.
