Cold Toes on the Cold Floor Lyrics

Hunger and the lights are off, honey
Trying to find my head
Don’t recall lying down
In this black bed

Cold toes on the cold floor x2

Feeling up the wall to find a light switch
Like a mime, surprised
What glows in the dark
A zippers broken spine

Cold toes on the cold floor x4

I am not alone
All my doves have flown

It’s a classic mix-up, baby
An honest mistake
A girl I used know, maybe
Another face on the street
She said to say hello to you soon, and
I awake from my dream state

Cold toes on the cold floor x2

I will take out the garbage
I will squeeze your juice
So glad to be making
Scrambled eggs with you

Cold toes on the cold floor x4

I am not alone
All my doves have flown

I don't know what everyone else thinks, but when I hear this song I get that "St. John" feel. So damn good

Sounds like he just cheated on his wife/girlfriend and is now remorseful about it and trying to excuse/defend his actions.

My Interpretation

I agree. Also, I was thinking about how when your feet are cold your whole body is uncomfortable.. "cold toes on the cold floor" could represent his guilt making his whole life uncomfortable..

Also, I'm not sure I see excuse/defend, I was thinking more like trying to make up for it..
