In The Cold
Fabrizio Cammarata Lyrics

She shakes like a leaf
She is visibly nervous and anxious

As I try to hold her hand
The singer is attempting to comfort her physically

She stares at my guitar
Her attention is distracted by the singer's musical instrument

And at the pictures on the wall
She is looking around the room, potentially avoiding eye contact

And she goes
She speaks

And she goes
She speaks again

"Hold me, leave me, let me go, let me go"
She is expressing contradictory emotions and desires

If only she could believe in me
The artist wishes she had faith in him and his abilities

If only she could believe in this
The artist wishes she had faith in their relationship or in their shared goals

I don't know where she's gone
She has emotionally withdrawn or distanced herself

But she's out there in the cold
She is alone and potentially struggling in a difficult situation

In the cold of her mind
This imagery emphasizes the isolation and emotional hardship she may be experiencing

December comes when you're alone
The winter season can be especially difficult when you lack companionship

December comes so unexpected
This sudden change in the season can be jarring and unsettling

You can have the keys to my place
The singer is offering her a degree of trust and goodwill

I don't know you, but I'm gonna trust you
This statement contains both suspicion and hopefulness

And she goes
She speaks again

And she goes
She speaks yet again

"Only if I can come pick you up
She agrees to his offer on the condition that she can also retrieve him in the future

At the airport in the morning"
The specific detail of the airport and morning further emphasizes the need for a shared connection
