I always thought that this song was about alcoholism or being at a dead end. I worked at a bar in college and the shift started at night and ended in the early morning hours. We would always sit around after hours and drink until the sun came up (unless we had to study). Daylight fading...into day. The moon lite us up inside because it was time to start the patron show as the night progressed. I always felt like I wasted year after year there, school, work, drink, study, and repeat. Many of my co-workers fell into drugs and dropped out of school, "somebody get their fingers into you". I, like many college students, may have been an alcoholic, but graduated and left before "it got cold in Colorado", then left soon upon graduation. After reading the comment about going on tour I really think that is mostly likely the true meaning. I guess you make every song sync into your life in your own way sometimes. Thanks tour perspective person!!
