Cooling Lyrics

Cover art for Cooling lyrics by Tori Amos

I think it could be about being in love with someone you can't have. Like, wanting someone who's already in a relationship.

This bit in particular fits with that idea: "but do i hate what she is/do i want to be her".

Also: "and is your place in heaven/worth giving up these kisses/these, yes, these kisses". Should they commit the sin of infidelity and risk not going to heaven, or give up their kisses?

The 'cooling' part could be to do with feeling 'cold' because of the fact you cannot love who you want to.
