Kiss So Hard
Last Winter Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You kiss so hard that I stop breathing

So I got your letter early Monday morning
And I could not believe my eyes

It said: "things aren't working here,
I'm coming home my dear.
Please tell me you havent forgotten me."

You kiss so hard that I stop breathing
And I could stay right here
Oh won't you let me?

You kiss so hard that I stop breathing
And I could die right here
But you wouldn't let me

Now I'm at the station waiting 7:30
Like your letter clearly stated
You said that you'd meet me here

But you weren't there my dear
I can't believe you broke my heart again

Overall Meaning

The song Kiss So Hard by Last Winter is a love song that speaks about the intensity of a person's affection for another. The lyrics speak about receiving a letter from a lover who is about to come home after some time away. The person is eagerly waiting for the reunion, looking forward to being close to the beloved once again. The lyrics describe the intensity of the feelings shared between the couple, saying that the person's kisses are so intense that they can stop one's breath.

The song paints a picture of love that is deeply felt, and speaks to the overwhelming nature of being in love. We see this in the lyrics that suggest that the person would be willing to die just to be with their beloved. The song also captures the disappointment that comes with expecting something and being let down; the person waits at the station as was instructed in the letter, but their love does not show up. This is a portrayal of love that is both intense and fragile, where strong emotions can easily be dashed by the actions of the other.
