All winter
We got carried
Oh
Way over on the rooftops
Let's get married
All summer we just hurried
So come over
Just be patient
And don't worry
So come over
Just be patient
And don't worry
So come over
Just be patient
And don't worry
And don't worry
No I don't wanna battle
From beginning to end
I don't wanna cycle
Recycle revenge
I don't wanna follow
Death and all his friends
No I don't wanna battle
From beginning to end
I don't wanna cycle
Recycle revenge
I don't wanna follow
Death and all of his friends
whatever IAmTheWalrus. I was just trying to help by pointing out the rhymes for those who couldn't see them. So stop being rude to people. It's not nice.
sharkanager I also relate with that interpretation of the song, i've been battling an illness of my own for 8 years now, it can be very hard. Sometimes i feel like giving up. When i heard this song it gave me this feeling of strength to just hang in there and fight to get better and not give up.
Chris is such a great person, i'm sure he has touched alot of hearts with this song.
This song is about lovers who experienced the height of love in the winter (we got carried way over the rooftops). They rushed into marriage (let's get married). The winter signifies that even if everything else was dead, they were alive and high on love(over the rooftops). Then they rushed through life (all summer we just hurried) and in their busy life, love was forsaken. Then they started to fight badly and he didn't want it to continue (I don't want to battle from beginning to end). He knew it would lead to a cycle of revenge where you hurt me and I hurt you. Death and it's friends were trying to end their love and he wasn't going to follow (I don't want to follow death and all his friends). Instead, he begged his lover to not be distant, but draw close to him (come on over). He wanted his love to be patient with their relationship (don't worry), and enjoy the comfort his love (come on over).
"No, I don't wanna battle from beginning to end,
I don't want a cycle of recycled revenge,
I don't want to follow death and all of his friends..."
