Trees in the Winter
Between You & Me Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Season's coming to an end
I need the warmth that it never brings
Cause right now I fall apart like trees in the winter

I never cared much for the way I roam about
And drag my feet across this empty fucking town
That I grew up in. But lately I feel lost
And now I'm stuck in my own mistakes and what they've cost

Season's coming to an end
I need the warmth that it never brings
Cause right now I fall apart like trees in the winter
Motivation's wearing thin
Just like it always is
Please take me back, I miss those days in December

Short sight with the gutter in mind
I know I lost track but I'll be fine
If you stay true to who's inside
You will find your path along this life

Season's coming to an end
I need the warmth that it never brings
Cause right now I fall apart like trees in the winter
Motivation's wearing thin
Just like it always is
Please take me back, I miss those days in December

I'll listen to punk songs on my stereo at home
And it makes me think of where I wanna go
I'll listen to punk songs on my stereo at home
And it makes me think of where I want to, I want to go

Season's coming to an end
I need the warmth that it never brings
Cause right now I fall apart like trees in the winter
Motivation's wearing thin




Just like it always is
Please take me back, I miss those days in December

Line by Line Meaning

Season's coming to an end
The current phase of my life is approaching its conclusion


I need the warmth that it never brings
I crave emotional comfort that is always absent


Cause right now I fall apart like trees in the winter
My emotions are falling apart and I feel as barren as winter trees


I never cared much for the way I roam about
I never gave much thought to how I aimlessly wander


And drag my feet across this empty fucking town
I reluctantly move through this desolate town


That I grew up in. But lately I feel lost
Although it's my hometown, I now feel directionless


And now I'm stuck in my own mistakes and what they've cost
I am trapped by the consequences of my own errors


Motivation's wearing thin
My drive and enthusiasm are diminishing


Just like it always is
This lack of motivation is a recurring pattern


Please take me back, I miss those days in December
I long for the return of the joyful times I experienced in December


Short sight with the gutter in mind
My limited perspective is focused on negativity


I know I lost track but I'll be fine
I acknowledge that I've lost my way, but I believe I'll recover


If you stay true to who's inside
If you remain authentic to yourself


You will find your path along this life
You'll discover your purpose and direction in life


I'll listen to punk songs on my stereo at home
I find solace and introspection by listening to punk music at home


And it makes me think of where I wanna go
It inspires contemplation about my desired destination


And it makes me think of where I want to, I want to go
It compels me to consider where I truly want to go
