this song represents a failed marriage and the regret with which it comes. "thought that i was young, now i've freezinig hands" when they married they were young and in love and without the other's hand to hold, they grow cold. || "i dremt i'd forgotten my name 'cause i sold my soul" some people change their last name when they get married, and vow to stay together under God. || "paralyzed and collared-tight" collar or leash as if the person was a dog or a pet. || " 'cause i'll be the one with my heart in my lap." regret of getting married, but heart is not their own. || tired of the regret they feel due to their decisions.
