This is my favorite song from the album!

I believe it is about the singer's thoughts after the breakup from her lover. She is feeling lost, in the cold and in the dark. I think the "city" is the relationships and the "bridges" are the feelings of love that are now gone. She want's to return home, to try and repair the relationship (Is it too late to come on home).

Then she is asking her lover if he is waiting for her, if it is too late to try again.She has decided to try again because it is where she belongs.

But at the end of the song she realises it really is too late, they just can't be together again.

My Interpretation

@angelika I totally agree with you ! This is the best song of the album, and I can't stop listening to it for the last months. I sing it, I dance it, I breathe it ! And I share your interpretation, it is sharp ;)
