Nowhere Warm
Kate Havnevik Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Until I see your smile and feel your calm
And I lick a dime, I crave for you, boy
You're like a parachute descending from the sky
But I'm sure you're on your way
Yes, I'm sure you're on the road
Until you're by my side, your hand in mine
And I've always known, you're like a feather
You go where wind and fire melt together
But I'm sure you're on your way home
Yes, I'm sure you're on the road
But I'm sure you're on your way
Yes, I know you're on the road
And I'm sure you're faster than before
Yes, I know you're somewhere on the road
And I reckon there is nothing more to say
The lyrics to Kate Havnevik's song Nowhere Warm explore the feelings of longing and reliance on a significant other for comfort and stability. In the first verse, the singer admits that without their partner's presence, they feel aimless and lost ("I go nowhere high, go nowhere warm"). However, when they are together, they feel comforted and safe, like a "parachute descending from the sky." The use of the metaphor highlights the idea that the partner is the savior of sorts for the singer, bringing them back down to earth and providing the safety of a parachute.
In the second verse, the singer continues to emphasize their dependence on their partner. They say that they've "always known" that their partner is like a feather, able to go where the wind and fire melt together. This reinforces the idea that the partner brings stability and safety to the singer's life, and that they are able to adapt to any situation. However, the singer also acknowledges that their partner is not always physically present, acknowledging that they are "sure you're on the road."
Overall, the song explores the need for human connection and the sense of safety and stability it brings. The lyrics highlight the deep connection between the two individuals and demonstrate that the presence of a loved one can provide a sense of direction and purpose in life.

I go nowhere high, go nowhere warm
I can't find happiness or comfort anywhere else
Until I see your smile and feel your calm
except when I'm with you, when you make me feel at peace and happy with just a smile
And I lick a dime, I crave for you, boy
I'll do anything for you, I desire you so much
You're like a parachute descending from the sky
you're my savior, coming to rescue me from the emptiness and loneliness
But I'm sure you're on your way
I know you'll come back to me soon
Yes, I'm sure you're on the road
I have faith that you're out there, working towards your goals
Until you're by my side, your hand in mine
I can only feel complete when we're together, holding hands
And I've always known, you're like a feather
you're light, and free, able to go wherever you want with ease
You go where wind and fire melt together
you chase after your dreams, even if it's difficult, until they become reality
But I'm sure you're on your way home
I trust that you're coming back to me, to our home
But I'm sure you're on the road
I'm positive that you're still journeying to achieve your dreams
And I'm sure you're faster than before
I believe that you're making progress and getting closer to your goals quickly
Yes, I know you're somewhere on the road
I have a feeling that you're already on your way to achieving your dreams
And I reckon there is nothing more to say
I know that my confidence in you is enough, and there's nothing more to explain

This was the episode where the pregnant woman and her family are in a car crash with the intern from Mercy West who fell asleep driving. It was so moving, the whole episode was brilliant. There couldn't have been a better song for when this sweet and innocent young woman dies :'( xx

That episode was ever so powerful. The blend of this music and the episode just awaken every sense you have.

It was also the episode where George realized he needed to forgive Meredith for what happened between them. It was such a profound episode. Good use of metaphor and allegory.

Sandra Clark yesss ik I wasnât the only person who came from greys anatomy just to listen to this song

I still go back to the first 6 or 7 Seasons. It wasn't the same after the plane crash. I will watch it to the very end however many Seasons they make, but I would rather watch over and over where the original cast members really shone! Bailey is so weak as chief in S12, it's painful to watch! After her great role in the beginning, it just makes me sad xx

I first heard this song during the episode called Damage Case in season 2 of Greyâs Anatomy, and itâs such a beautiful song in a very powerful moment of that series. And I still love this song to this day.
