Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What would have happened then?
I can see you in your winter gloves
Wishing that I never left
Throat closing, waving from across the street
Heartbroken, you still got a piece of me
I tiptoed alone
I felt you changing
In an afternoon
We left it open
Kept the pages clean
I didn't mean to let you go
I still see you in the snow
I held my breath on the river
We were supposed to be good
You were afraid of the moonlight
I walked you home through the woods
My suitcase was heavier than I thought it'd be
I looked back and caught you crying
I tiptoed alone
To your wooden room
I felt you changing
In an afternoon
We left it open
Kept the pages clean
I didn't mean to let you go
I still see you in the snow
From this side
I can hold it better now
You were wrong
You were right
I tiptoed alone
To your wooden room
I felt you changing
In an afternoon
We left it open
Kept the pages clean
I didn't mean to let you go
I still see you in the snow
The song "Snow" by Jome appears to be about a past relationship that ended on uncertain terms. The first stanza ponders what would have happened if they had stayed in the same town, and the singer imagines seeing their former lover wearing winter gloves, a symbol of the coldness that exists between them now. Despite this distance, the memory of the past still haunts the singer, represented by the image of seeing their former lover in the snow.
The second stanza draws on more specific memories of the relationship. The singer snuck into their former lover's room alone, indicating a sense of guilt and secrecy around the breakup. They remember watching their former lover change and grow in an afternoon, admitting regret about letting them go. The pages they kept clean perhaps represent the pages of their relationship, with the singer attempting to keep things amicable between them.
The song concludes with the singer reflecting on the past from a more distant perspective. They can hold the memories better now, and see that both were right and wrong in their own ways. The final repetition of the chorus, with the line "I still see you in the snow," emphasizes the lasting impact the relationship and its end had on the singer.
Overall, the song is a nostalgic and wistful look back at a past relationship, with a focus on regret and unfinished feelings. The snowy imagery adds to the wintery sadness of the song, with the singer caught in a frozen memory of what could have been.
