So you finally 'fessed up to her
All the lies you said
Now you kindly kiss up to her
But the feeling's dead

Several days have passed now
Darker than any damn cloud now
Liquid sunshine falls down
Harder than all the damn hounds

[Chorus]
Trying to give you summer, but I'm winter
Wish I could make you spring, but I fall so hard

So you always did what you wanted
We will be on our own
I will soon let you go now
Things will be alright

Several weeks have passed now
Grayer than any gray cloud
Several weeks have passed now
And it's so hard

[Chorus]

And it's so hard to get out of bed
She's impossible to get out of your head

[Chorus]

    General Comment:It's already been said, but this is my take...pretty much went through this myself recently so it's kinda meaning a lot...
    He's fucked somewhere along the line in the relationship and is trying to get back with her, as in the first verse, in particular 'Now you kindly kiss up to her / But the feeling's dead'. As hard as he tries, instead of winning her back, all he's doing is pushing her away further. The second half of each verse is him reminiscing and thinking of what a fool he's been and how hard it is without her. Though that's kinda obvious.
    Great song regardless, by an extremely underrated band.

    General Comment:This song to me, is about a guy who has lied to his girlfriend (possibly cheated) and confessed everything to her. Now she doesn't want to be with him, even though he does everything for her. No matter how hard he tries, he always gets rejected. So, in the end, he finally gives up and lets her go. Then he can't stop thinking about her. This is a song that a lot of people can probably relate to. Good song, great cd.

    General Comment:This is personally one of my favourites.
    To me it seems that Dryden (or whoever he is voicing) admitted to being dishonest but she is not so easily forgiving, 'but the feeling's dead'.
    He's aware of his mistakes and is trying his best to make up for them. But she is not ready to give in, and so the time in which she mulls in over is hell for him, 'Several days ... cloud now', 'Several weeks ...
    And it’s so hard'.

    He always falls short of what he feels will make up for his mistakes, which is summer and spring. He therefore refers to himself as the colder seasons, winter and autumn/fall.

    And of course, who hasn't felt this over the one they love? 'And it’s so hard to get out of bed.
    She’s impossible to get out of your head'

    Its kinda a sad song considering what he's willing to do/change. A lot of people aren't like that.

    General Comment:I think the verses are 3rd person, reflecting on himself. He did something bad in a relationship and finally fessed up... alas, too late. During the chorus he tries to explain that he tried to make it up by giving her summer, etc. All actions are futile, because of his "lies" from the first verse.

    General Comment:I think that the person above me is pretty much right. This guy really loves this girl, but he is completely the opposite of what she needs.

    I think that he wishes he could give her what she wants but no matter how hard he tries, he can't because she wants what he isn't. He knows that he's not the one for her. Does that make sense to you guys? I'm probably all wrong.
