Favorite off the album. Second is "Bottled Wind," followed by "Kneel on Nails."
Definitely a love song. Jimmy said in an interview that it is. But I know there's more to it than just that, and PBC is kind of known for wanting their fans to interpret things their own way. So, here's my interpretation:
I feel like it's about two people who aren't that well off, but make things work despite. A love song about people who live off hourly wages; they have their ups and downs, their huge fights and almost break-ups, but they've made it work for a while and you know they'll end up together in the end. He wants to move away, leave New York behind him, but it's her paradise. That's the fight even: he wants to leave for something he feels is better, but she wants to stay. They remember the good times, and he would stay for her–she's more important than his dreams, because she's the most important part of them, the scenery doesn't matter. So he'll stay for her, and he'll never leave if she's what that means.
I'm making it more of a story than it is, but I feel like the song's capturing the abstract of all that. The song has a feeling (besides the mention of winter and cold) of a New York Winter. I don't know how to explain it; you just need feel it. This song sends me back to it. I also feel a sort of New York pride; I have it myself: I feel it shows here.
I can relate to this song a bit, but the roles are kind of reversed in my case. Regardless, this song is amazing and I can't stop listening to it.
