Clover
Cold Weather Company Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Learning comes later
Savor the sorrow
Were these moments fate or just something borrowed
And set to leave?
Yearning for greater
I long for tomorrow
Stuck in a state of clinging to far roads
They′re tempting me

To see this through new eyes
Sun in a high-rise
There's a reason why two lives
Can feel like they′re
Both counterclockwise, but time makes new allies
It can ease their minds, woah-oh, and let things fall behind

So take it as a sign
You have both found what you were looking to find, oh
Don't let it all decline
Know that you were still made to feel aligned

Learning comes later
Savor the sorrow
Were these moments fatal?
Trusting to erode
Yet I believe

The city's in your skies
The streets have all realized
There′s a reason why two lives
Feel intertwined
Hope for a reprise
A sonnet with more lines
Alteration finds
And wonder calls to bind

All our time (All our habits)
Say that you′ll feel it again
When you're hanging on (Are falling rapids
While you′re letting go (And all you do is step aside)
To all you know

Facing a climb
Say that your steel doesn't bend
When you′re hanging on
While you're letting go
To all I′ve shown
Watch, we'll unwind
Say that this isn't the end
When you′re hanging on
While you′re letting go

Oh take it as a sign
It is the star to every wandering heart and mine

Don't say it′s over
Call it a clover
I'm never cold and you′re never forward (Oh, take it as a sign)
Don't say it′s over
Don't say that's all we′ve got (It is a part of every two colors combined)

Don′t say it's over
Call it a clover
I′m never cold and you're never forward (Oh, take it as a sign)
Don′t say it's over
Don′t say that's all we've got (You have both found what you were looking to find)

Don′t say it′s over
Call it a clover
I'm never cold and you′re never forward




Don't say it′s over
Don't say that′s all we've got

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Cold Weather Company's song Clover evoke a feeling of nostalgia and longing for something more. The first verse conveys a sense of uncertainty, questioning whether the moments they experienced were predetermined or borrowed, and whether they are meant to move on. The longing for something greater is apparent in the line "I long for tomorrow," yet they feel stuck clinging to far roads that are tempting them to leave.


The chorus suggests that time can be a healing force, allowing them to see things through new eyes and find new allies. They've found what they were looking for and must not let it decline but instead feel aligned. The second verse talks about how the city and streets have become a part of them, and there's a reason why two lives feel intertwined. They hope for a reprise, a chance to add more lines to their sonnet, and a sense of wonder and curiosity calling them to bind.


The bridge and final verse seem to reflect encouraging words to themselves or someone else, stating that even when facing a climb, they won't break, and they will unwind. The line "don't say it's over, call it a clover" implies seeing the situation as an opportunity to change and grow rather than giving up. The closing lines of the song suggest that whatever they have found together is a guiding star to their wandering hearts.
