Cover art for Winter Bones lyrics by Stars

(1st verse) I imagine this girl in her room, watching the snow fall. The mood is very haunting. She's thinking about the person she's in love with but he doesn't necessarily know it, or possibly doesn't feel the same way. (when your awake your alone) is pretty much what it means. (Chorus) She jumps in her car, while the snow falls harder, it begins to worsen. She calls him because she desperately wants to she him (Can I come to your house?). (Winter lives in my bones), refers to how lonely and empty she feels. She shows up at his door steps, he opens the door, she's crying and he takes her in his arms. (2nd verse) Basically he's saying have you gone mad, driving out here in this weather. What's wrong? He wants to know what her motives are, she wants to tell him but can't say her true feelings, she wants to know his and believe that they are the same. ( I want to believe in anything)

(It's all i've known) is referring to the emptiness she's felt.
