What do you want?
What do you want?
What weather changes more than the greens
of something moving untamed
In the airy mist that my breath makes
When I don't know what to say

Line by Line Meaning
Coming out of the house
Emerging from behind closed doors
And having my breath swept out of me
Feeling startled or surprised
What do you want?
Asking the other person's intentions
What do you want?
Repeating the question, seeking clarity
What weather changes more than the greens
No other natural phenomenon is as unpredictable as changes in emotions
of something moving untamed
Of a wild, uncontrolled entity
In the airy mist that my breath makes
The visible exhalation in the cold air
When I don't know what to say
Being uncertain or at a loss for words
