Hoping for Snow
The Vamps Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've made mistakes but so have you
It's been a year of nothing new and now I'm waiting for this to unfold
They're raising clouds, but I'm outside
I keep away from spirits, hide
With you I'm hoping to meet in the cold
[Pre-Chorus:]
And maybe it's the seasons, I don't know
Or maybe it's because I'm on my own
[Chorus:]
Last year, you took a piece of my heart
This year I guess it's falling apart
Everyone's hoping for snow
But I'm just hoping that you come home
Last year, we stole a dance in the dark
This year we're just a?
Everyone's hoping for snow
But I'm just hoping that you might make it home
[Verse 2:]
I catch a breath, it chills my lungs
And it takes me back to when we were young
And I always seem to get lost in the past
As I let go, I breathe you out
Before my eyes you form a cloud
And disappear in the? In the grass
[Pre-Chorus:]
And oh, you're not the only reason I came home
And maybe it's the seasons, I don't know
Or maybe it's because I'm on my own
[Chorus:]
Last year, you took a piece of my heart
This year I guess it's falling apart
Everyone's hoping for snow
But I'm just hoping that you come home
Last year, we stole a dance in the dark
This year we're just a?
Everyone's hoping for snow
But I'm just hoping that you might make it home
[Bridge:]
See you out, out in the streets
And nothing on your facials says you're missing me
And all I felt from way back when
Keep asking me this how you did, and how I've been
And it's killing me
[Chorus:]
Last year, you took a piece of my heart
This year I guess it's falling apart
Everyone's hoping for snow
But I'm just hoping that you come home
Last year, we stole a dance in the dark
This year we're just a?
Everyone's hoping for snow
But I'm just hoping that you might make it home
The Vamps's song Hoping for Snow is a bittersweet track about reminiscing a lost love during the holiday season. The lyrics describe the singer's yearning for someone who took a piece of their heart the previous year. It opens with the singer acknowledging that both parties have made mistakes, and they've been waiting for things to unfold. The singer reveals their reluctance to indulge in holiday spirits, hoping to meet their lost love and patch things up. The pre-chorus implies that the singer didn't come home solely to reunite with their lost love, but it's one of the reasons.
In the chorus, the singer explains that they're just hoping their lost love returns home instead of the whole town hoping for snow. The second verse starts with the singer breathing in the frigid air, which reminds them of their childhood days with their lost love. The singer admits that they often lose themselves in the past and still let go of their lost love. The bridge reveals the singer's sight of their lost love on the streets, and it's apparent that they're not missing the singer. The chorus ends with the singer still hoping that their lost love comes home.

I've made mistakes but so have you
Both of us have made mistakes in the past
It's been a year of nothing new and now I'm waiting for this to unfold
The past year has been stagnant and now I'm waiting for something new to happen
They're raising clouds, but I'm outside
Others are caught up in drama, but I'm not involved
I keep away from spirits, hide
I stay away from trouble and hide from dangerous situations
With you I'm hoping to meet in the cold
I want to meet you in a chilly setting
And oh, you're not the only reason I came home
I came home for reasons besides just you
And maybe it's the seasons, I don't know
Perhaps it's just the time of year
Or maybe it's because I'm on my own
Or maybe it's because I'm alone
Last year, you took a piece of my heart
You hurt me emotionally last year
This year I guess it's falling apart
Things aren't going well this year either
Everyone's hoping for snow
People are anticipating snow
But I'm just hoping that you come home
But I'm only hoping that you come back
Last year, we stole a dance in the dark
Last year we shared a memorable moment
This year we're just a?
This year we haven't had any special moments
See you out, out in the streets
I see you in public
And nothing on your facials says you're missing me
Your expression doesn't show that you miss me
And all I felt from way back when
I still feel the same way as I did in the past
Keep asking me this how you did, and how I've been
You keep asking me how I'm doing
And it's killing me
It's emotionally difficult for me
But I'm just hoping that you might make it home
However, I'm still hoping that you come back

I've made mistakes but so have you
It's been a year I've nothing new
Now I'm waiting for this to unfold
There is a class but I'm outside
I keep away my spirits high
It's you I'm hoping to meet in the cold
And no
You're not the only reason I came home
But maybe it's the seasons I don't know
But maybe it's because I'm on my own
Last year you took a piece of my heart
This year I guess it's falling apart
Everyone's hoping for snow
But I'm just hoping that you come home
Last year we stole a dance in the dark
This year we're just a thought a far
Everyone's hoping for snow
But I'm just hoping that you come home
I catch a breath it chills my lungs
It takes me back to when we were young
I always seem to get lost in the past
Cause I let go
I breath you out before my eyes
You form a cloud and disappear in the stake
To the class home
You're not the only reason I came home
But maybe it's the seasons I don't know
But maybe it's because I'm on my own
Last year you took a piece of my heart
This year I guess it's falling apart
Everyone's hoping for snow
But I'm just hoping that you come home
Last year we stole a dance in the dark
This year we're just a thought a far
Everyone's hoping for snow
But I'm just hoping that you might make it home
I see you
Out in the streets
Nothing on your face shows that you're missing me
And all our friends from way back then
Keep asking me how you've been
And how I've been
And it's killing me
Last year you took a piece of my heart
This year I guess it's falling apart
Everyone's hoping for snow
But I'm just hoping that you come home
Last year we stole a dance in the dark
This year we're just a thought a far
Everyone's hoping for snow
But I'm just hoping that you might make it home

Hey World! Why is The Vamps not that popular like 1D or JB?
Their songs, voices, and talents are so good! I really like them especially Brad and James... Make them popular guys!!!
Panagiota
@Titash Adhikary I agree the Vamps deserve more recognition! My favourite band is One Direction, but I love Vamps too and I agree that xfactor has to to with it and that it helped 1d become popular
kiki
Waffle The Hero same and their old classic song can we dance💞💞
Titash Adhikary
I'll tell you why. The vamps started as a band on their own with no one like simon cowell to promote them, while 1D had a big stage such as x factor and had advantage. Not comparing anybody I love both bands and agree that both are talented. Spread love.♡♡♡

@Lucy Noir Vampette how could people hate them
I'm in the car coming back from their concert and I loved it and meanwhile my friend who was there with me was like 'they're okay" and I was very disappointed
Naomi Dzerra Leigh
Waffle the Hero They are actually really famous. They're also really talented. I'm sure there are still millions of us out there. And they did raise the fame level though.
