This is my favorite song on the album, too.

I really like Dupy's analysis, but I want to elaborate on it: I think the winter imagery--snow, f-f-f-freezin'--at the beginning is symbolic. Winter usually represents something bleak, lonely, like life without love. "End of the season": That's all over now; he's got her. In the next verse, it's raining; rain=spring=new awakenings now that he's found love. Ugh, it sounds so cheesy when I say it. I like the song's expression so much better!
