November
Patrick Dwyer Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Another November
Comes and goes in California
But I never know
‘Cause the sun is always
Shining in my eyes
For you the world kept spinning
I’m in a city without time
Now leaves are fallin

Somewhere just outside of Boston
And a cold front’s rolling in
But if I were there I wouldn’t care
If in the winds I’d freeze
'Cause with you on my mind
It feels like a California breeze
‘Cause you got the kind of love
That keeps you warm in stormy weather
Don’t need a coat ‘cause I’m not cold
And I don’t need a sweater
Doesn’t matter when life’s seasons change
As long as I remember
You can be my California even in November
Yeah, you can be my California even in November
I get frustrated
When I start to realize
How much I’ve wasted of my life
But tomorrow is another day
And I never want to be too late
To say all of the thing that I need to say
‘Cause you got the kind of love
That keeps you warm in stormy weather
Don’t need a coat ‘cause I’m not cold
And I don’t need a sweater
Doesn’t matter when life’s seasons change
As long as I remember
You can be my California even in November
Yeah, you can be my California even in November
‘Cause you got the kind of love
That keeps you warm in stormy weather
Don’t need a coat ‘cause I’m not cold
And I don’t need a sweater
Doesn’t matter when life’s seasons change
As long as I remember

You’ll always be my California even in November
You’ll always be my California even in November

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Patrick Dwyer's song 'November' convey feelings of homesickness and longing for someone who feels like home. The opening lines paint a picture of California, where November goes unnoticed due to the constant presence of sunshine, but the singer is in a city without time, possibly feeling disconnected and out of place. The second verse shifts to the Northeast, with leaves falling and a cold front rolling in, but regardless of the weather, the singer wouldn't care if they were with the person they're missing. The chorus emphasizes the kind of love that can withstand any season or change, comparing it to the warmth of California that the singer is trying to hold onto even in November.

The last verse suggests the singer may have regrets about how they've spent their life up until this point, but they're also hopeful for the future and don't want to waste any more time not saying the things that need to be said. It's clear that the person they're missing has a significant impact on their life and their feelings of home, and that their love is strong enough to make any season feel manageable.

Overall, 'November' is a bittersweet love song that touches on themes of homesickness, nostalgia, and the power of love to make even the toughest times bearable.
