I personally think people read too far into this song. The whole love triangle/ affair thing just doesn't sound right to me. I think it's just what Vernon says it is; two lovers stuck out in the snow.

Agreed dude, I honestly think it is just two former lovers running into each other who realize they are still in love with each other.

Analysis isn't a treasurehunt. It's not about finding out what the artists intention was when he wrote the song. It's about letting your own world and imagination reflect in the song and thereby become aware of things you may not consider otherwise. And it's about companionship. Many read there own story into the words of Justin Vernon, and if you want my opinion, that is what makes his work amazing. Our ability to do just that. There is no "read too far" into anything! There is no final answer. You are expressing the opinion that there should be. Why would...
