"I find it sad and uplifting at the same time. It's about having a bad day, but also having something there to make it better in the end. In the phrase "you're my medicine" I use the image of medicine because it's something you can take that will make you feel better. When I was a little girl in Texas, snow days were supposed to be bad things because the city would shut down, but of course we loved them. I especially like singing this because it says, "You're not too tired for this life. It's not gonna matter if you fall down twice." Sometimes you need someone to tell you that it's okay that you're depressed or that you messed up -- even if you've done it before. But you also need someone to shake you out of your weariness. "
