I always think about this song about having the girl has a perfect for you but they can't deal with the high intensity life. The whole sound of winter thing makes think of winds blowing, which is usually a symbol of desolace, which would show a lack of someone being there. Hanging on to yourself sounds to me like being selfish or unwilling to change. Just my take. The beauty of music is that some songs have no definite meaning to everyone.
