The song is basically the singer detailing a first love that never lasted (The snow has covered every track/From me to you/And you will never know, my love/What I think of you), and yet, that love still sticks with him (Things are quiet now/When I think of you/Have you made a life/Or are you quiet, too?), especially when he sees her around (Saw you walking by the place/Where we used to meet/Turn your head and disappear/Onto busy street). The first lyric of the chorus can also represent time separating the two and covering their former bonds. One of my favorites off this album, and one of the best love songs of all time in my eyes.
