Spring comes slowly
To this old frame
Still I'm frozen
I still live alone
In time memories fade
Sense numb
One forgets how it feels
To have loved completely
Love well, young man
While you still can
Once your leaves turn
You won't love again
Is it special when you're lonely?
Will you spend your whole life
In a studio apartment
With a cat for a wife?
The seasons when they call you
Do you barricade the door?
Are you stubborn, stubborn,
Stubborn to the core?
Is it your way or the highway?
Then the longest winter is on her way
You called her without knowing it
And now it's too late
To this old frame
Still I'm frozen
I still live alone
In time memories fade
Sense numb
One forgets how it feels
To have loved completely
Love well, young man
While you still can
Once your leaves turn
You won't love again
Is it special when you're lonely?
Will you spend your whole life
In a studio apartment
With a cat for a wife?
The seasons when they call you
Do you barricade the door?
Are you stubborn, stubborn,
Stubborn to the core?
Is it your way or the highway?
Then the longest winter is on her way
You called her without knowing it
And now it's too late

Yeah.. the cat for a wife song really freaked me out when I woke up in my studio apartment with a cat sleeping on my stomach. :S
you're never going to find someone who is exactly like you, and wants and needs the same exact things as you do... if you expect to find that, you'll never be satisfied. you're in for the longest winter (aka a depressing time) if you can't accept that things will never be perfect or exactly the way you want them.
this is a really great song
it means dont be picky, and find faults with people. learn to compromise when it comes to love or else it might pass you by.
this song is sooo deep i luv PTL
*****Nay
Wow. This song is just awesome. It's deep, and it flows really well. Don't let love pass you by, is what I think it means, basically.
I think it means do not pass love by or else love will pass you by. and if you do not find love you never will, so it's better to find love then be numb to the world. I like this song a lot. It has a lot of meaning for me right now, although I wasn't really in love with the guy. It just has so much meaning.
this song is beautiful
This is my fav pedro the lion song off of my favorite pedro the lion album(it's hard to find a friend). The words to this song epitomize loneliness and the worry that you will spend the rest of your life alone. Yes it's quite a sad song, but I'm into that. if you can appreciate an honest expression of emotion(particualrly sadness), you will love this song
Winter is depressing..... Everyone find someone to hold on til' until spring, loneliness is not a good thing to experience during this time..
