For me this song is reflecting being young, and in a relationship with your life time partner. Like experiencing exotic and new things, but now, its time to settle down and start the “adult” stage of a person’s life.
In December drinking horchata
I'd look psychotic in a balaclava
Winter's cold is too much to handle
Pincher crabs that pinch at your sandals
Here, a person is trying to reminisce about his/her youthful days but drinking an “exotic” drink like horchata in the beginning of winter. He/she looks “psychotic,” because obviously it’s the drink is out of place for the type of situation he/she is now in their now settled adult residence. Winter becomes unbearable, and wishes for more of his/her traveling days to new places "pitcher crabs".
In December drinking horchata
Look down your glasses at that Aranciata
With lips and teeth to ask how my day went
Boots and fists to pound on the pavement
Here comes a feeling you thought you'd forgotten
Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on
The part of: “With lips and teeth to ask how my day went/ Boots and fists to pound on the pavement resembles how being in young and in a relationship is like. For most couples starting out, constant communication is something beginning couples have. Asking questions like “how is your day?”and “how are you feeling?” basically being intuitive of your significant other’s life. Then these questions and answers become routine, which I guess “Boots and fists to pound on the pavement” comes in, because these sessions of Q and A become aggravating and annoying to a person.
Next the part: “Here comes a feeling you thought you'd forgotten/Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on” is basically the part of the beginning of a relationship and having innocence. The “feeling that is forgotten” could mean many things like traveling to new places when you’re were a child and have amazed and fun it was. Or it could mean rediscovering or reminiscing what love really is with your partner is. The chairs and sidewalks part could state how easy it is in beginning. A foundation is set for a person, and as time goes on that foundation is lost.
You'd remember drinkin horchata
You'd still enjoy it with your foot on masada
Rembering being young again.
Winter's cold is too much to handle
Pincher crabs that pinch at your sandals
Here comes a feeling you thought you'd forgotten
Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on
Ooh you had it but oh no you lost it
Lookin back you shouldn't have fought it
I’m going to concentrate more on the last part of: “Ooh you had it but oh no you lost it/Lookin back you shouldn't have fought it.” This could mean a relationship is becoming more and more stale, and that “love” is now becoming lost. It also, makes a point of never letting go of your youthfulness and innocence. As people become settled, they lost that edge to them and become quite boring.
In December, drinkin horchata
I'd look psychotic in a balaclava
Winter's cold is too much to handle
Pincher crabs that pinch at your sandals
Years go by and hearts start to harden
Those palms and firs that grew in your garden
Falling down and nearing the rose beds
The roots are shooting up through the tool shed
Those lips and teeth that asked how my day went
Are shouting up through cracks in the pavement
Beginning with: “Years go by...through cracks in the pavement,” the settling has finally sunken in. Those times of being young and in love are gone. Thus, leading our couple’s hearts “to harden.” The young love “palms and firms,” are now “fallowing down and nearing the rose beds” is nearing is time. The foundation of their relationship is now breaking with “roots shooting up” and “cracks in the pavement”. “Those lips and teeth asked how my day went,” now you can notice its now the “ask” is now “asked” and now the couple has very little interest in each other’s lives. Now their relationship is now “going through the motions” and doesn’t resemble at all the beginning of their relationship.
Here comes a feeling you thought you'd forgotten
Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on
Oh you had it but oh no you lost it
You understood so you shouldn't have fought it
Here comes a feeling you thought you'd forgotten
Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on
Here comes a feeling you thought you'd forgotten
Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on
