The Winter Lyrics

Winter's Chill, chilled me to the bone this year,
And something in my mind just got away,
Being in the places where we used to be,
Somehow being there without you's not the same.

Parking lots, office parks and shopping malls,
And all you left were bills you hadn't paid.
Winter's Chill, chilled me to the bone this year,
And something in my mind just got away.

It's all behind you now, (It's all behind you now)
Your moving on, (your moving on)
They'll never find you now, (they'll never find you, find you, find you, find you)
Your moving on, on, onnnn...

Alcohol, cigarettes and luxury goods,
Christmas lights look desperate in this room.
Winter's light left me in the dark last night,
And jingle bells are smothered in this gloom.

Winter's tree is freezing in the bitter wind,
And Autumns leaves have all been blown away.
Being in the places where we used to be,
Somehow being there without you's not the same.

It's all behind you now, (It's all behind you now)
Your moving on, (your moving on)
They'll never find you now, (they'll never find you, find you, find you, find you)
Your moving on, on, onnnn...

It's all behind you now, (It's all behind you now)
Your moving on, (your moving on)
They'll never find you now, (they'll never find you, find you, find you, find you)
Your moving on, on, onnnn...

Cover art for The Winter lyrics by Cake

This song is about loss. The descriptions of wintertime in a city show the emptiness the narrator feels. The "moving on" part is the narrator realizing that even though their lover passed, they are in a better place now.

This song always makes me sad.
