And all I am is a man
I want the world in my hands
I hate the beach
But I stand in California with my toes in the sand
Use the sleeves on my sweater
Lets have an adventure
Head in the clouds but my gravity centered
Touch my neck and I'll touch yours
You in those little high waisted shorts

Oh, she knows what I think about
And what I think about
One love, two mouths
One love, one house
No shirts, no blouse
Just us, you find out
Nothing I really wanna tell you about no
'Cause it's too cold whoa
For you here
And now, so let me hold whoa
Both your hands in the holes of my sweater

And if I may just take your breath away
I don't mind if there's not much to say
Sometimes the silence guides your mind
So move to a place so far away
The goosebumps start to race
The minute that my left hand meets your waist
And then I watch your face
Put my finger on your tongue 'cause you love to taste yeah
These hearts adore, everyone the other beat heart is for
Inside this place is warm
Outside is ice cold

Coming down
One love, two mouths
One love, one house
No shirts, no blouse
Just us, you find out
Nothing I really wanna tell you about, no no no
'Cause it's too cold whoa
For you here
And now, so let me hold whoa
Both your hands in the holes of my sweater

'Cause it's too cold whoa
For you here
And now, so let me hold whoa
Both your hands in the holes of my sweater

Whoa, whoa, whoa

Whoa, whoa whoa
Whoa, whoa whoa
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa whoa
Whoa, whoa

'Cause it's too cold whoa
For you here
And now, so let me hold whoa
Both your hands in the holes of my sweater

It's too cold whoa
For you here
And now, so let me hold whoa
Both your hands in the holes of my sweater

It's too cold, it's too cold
The hands of my sweater

    General Comment:I personally don't think this song is about infidelity. This is because he says

    "One love, two mouths
    One love, one house
    No shirts, no blouse
    Just us, you find out"

    This chorus I think is specifically talking about him and the woman he desires. Also he says in another verse,

    "These hearts adore, everyone the other beat heart is for"

    I think he's saying their hearts beat for each other.

    To me this song is about him offering all that he has to this woman, even if it's not much, "Both your hands in the holes of my sweater"

    My Interpretation:He wants a woman he can't have. He's singing to her.

    She knows he wants her and there's an obvious mutual attraction but nothing can happen due to the situation... he'll settle with holding her hands in the holes of his sweater.

    This song has nothing to do with a threesome or women. It's one woman he wants that he can't have.

    --->Oh, she knows what I think about
    And what I think about
    One love, two mouths (him and her)
    One love, one house (him and her)
    No shirts, no blouse
    Just us, you find out (he wants her to be curious)
    Nothing I really wanna tell you about no
    'Cause it's too cold whoa
    For you here
    And now, so let me hold whoa
    Both your hands in the holes of my sweater

    My Opinion:He fell in love with a woman he couldnt provide for. He is poor, reasoning for the "cold"(a future with him) is that he cant afford "heat" (her future with another). He knows she has a better life with someone else, but he loves her none the less. His "sweater (heart) is hers.

    Memory:I totally agree with each one of you. But this song in particular can take so many directions in terms of fidelity, love, attraction, and sexuality. I recently got separated with my wife 5 months ago. The last time shes came by for a visit was the 3 days after she told me to hear out this song along with imagine dragons and that she loves the too. Im a hardcore classic rock fan so these songs were extraterrestrial to me and my internet connection was acting up. But we managed to carry out the best conversation since our relationship started going downhill i felt reconnected. for three days after she continued coming over after work till i asked for my space. i wrote the songs down in my notepad and noticed them a week later and downloaded both.
    FIRST THOUGHT LESBIAN THROUGH THE BEGINNING
    SECOND HALF WAY THROUGH TTHE SONG I SAW A CONFESSION OF WHAT SHE IS DOING
    LAST BUT NOT GOOD THAT SHE LOVED AND NEEDED ME AT HER HOUSE .
    so i really feel like all of you came up with my conclusions and for me its been 1 month that she told me of this song and i have to get a concrete definition of this song its driving me nuts lol thank you all for sharing it does help people.

    My Opinion:The song is about an average man and an average girl falling in love. The 2 love each other and he is willing to protect her and keep her warm and safe no matter if he has to sacrifice himself.

    My Interpretation:One god damn sexy song.

    Obviously it's about sex, obviously. But some of the wording...

    it's sex, but better than sex...

    its...

    it's a threesome. Hot damn.

    General Comment:one love, two mouths...

    It seems these two are mutually attracted to each other and adore each other, and he's not ashamed to declare it.

    The world outside is cold, but they make their own fire inside
    they can endure anything while wrapped up in the holes of his sweater

    My Interpretation:Is it possible this song revolves around the speaker admitting that they are currently in a relationship of infidelity?

    SHE knows what I think about...just US, YOU find out. Nothing that we don't wanna tell you about.

    At first listen, it sounded like a cute song but after listening to it a few times, it sounds more like a confessional. There's a You and there's a She and I think they're different people. He's having a relationship on the side and he's telling "you" that it's too cold here; he can't offer her his sweater, but he can offer her a place in the holes of his sweater.

    She's getting somebody else's leftovers. Am I off?

    Lyric Correction:best version of the lyrics i can find, but i believe it's:

    these hearts adore,
    every one the other beats hard is for
