Niki & the Dove Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And this time of year, too much ooh, too much memories
Ooh ooh
My friends say, you gotta, oh, get over
It's just the darkness, don't make your feelings too complex
It's just a one man, you have the love light in you
It's just the beginning, it'll be comin' around again
It always hits to the heart
And all the places he used to take me
And all the kissing in the dark
I go places, I go places I don't really wanna go
I see people, holding hands
I think I saw his face, is it him getting over there?
Is he close, is he close to me?
My friends say, it's just the love light in you (in you)
It's just a one man, it'll be comin' around again
Wintertime's not for the lonely (ooh)
It always hits to the heart (ooh)
And all the places he used to take me (used to take me, oh)
And all the kissing in the dark (and all the kiss)
Wintertime's not for the lonely (ooh)
It always hits to the heart (ooh)
And all the places he used to take me (used to take me, oh)
And all the kissing in the dark (and all the kiss)
Oh oh oh
I'm feeling older this winter
And my eyes are growing dark
And everybody wants the singing
I left that song long ago
(I can't have him, I can't have him)
(I'm feeling older)
(I can't have him, I can't have him)
The lyrics for Niki & the Dove's song Winterheart describe the feelings of a person who is struggling with memories and emotions during the winter season. The song begins with the singer wanting to stay out late at night, but feeling hesitant because this time of year brings back too many memories. Despite her friends' encouragement to move on and not make things too complex, she can't shake the feeling of loneliness and loss. She sees couples holding hands and wonders if she will ever be close to someone again. The chorus reflects on how wintertime is not for the lonely, as it always hits to the heart and reminds her of all the places she used to go and all the kisses in the dark with someone who is no longer there.
The lyrics convey a deep sense of sadness and longing, as the singer comes to terms with her feelings and the passing of time. The reference to "the love light in you" suggests that she still has hope for the future, but the refrain "I can't have him, I can't have him" underscores the finality of her situation. The haunting melody and plaintive vocals emphasize the emotional weight of the lyrics, making the song a poignant reflection on love and loss during the winter months.

Something's bugging me, wanna stay out late, late at night
I feel unsettled and I want to avoid going home early to confront my feelings
And this time of year, too much ooh, too much memories
Winter brings back old memories and emotions that are overwhelming
My friends say, you gotta, oh, get over
My friends advise me to move on from the past and let go of these emotions
It's just the darkness, don't make your feelings too complex
They reassure me that it's just the season and that I shouldn't complicate my emotions
It's just a one man, you have the love light in you
I am capable of finding love again, and it's not just about one person
It's just the beginning, it'll be comin' around again
This is just the start of a new cycle and opportunity for love
Wintertime's not for the lonely
Winter can be a difficult time for those who feel alone
It always hits to the heart
The emotions felt during winter are intense and difficult to ignore
And all the places he used to take me
The memories of the places we went together are overwhelming
And all the kissing in the dark
The memories of our intimate moments together are difficult to forget
I go places, I go places I don't really wanna go
I try to distract myself by going places I don't even enjoy
I think I saw his face, is it him getting over there?
I constantly think I see him, which adds to my emotional turmoil

And all the kissing in the dark (and all the kiss)
The intimacy we shared makes it harder to move on
I'm feeling older this winter
The emotions of the season are weighing on me and making me feel older
And my eyes are growing dark
I feel emotionally drained and it's affecting me physically
And everybody wants the singing
Everyone around me seems to be in a happy, festive mood
I left that song long ago
I feel like my happy, singing days are behind me
(I can't have him, I can't have him)
I am struggling to accept that our relationship is over and I can't have him back
(I'm feeling older)
I am facing difficult emotions that are making me feel older
