Waiting for the Snow Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm waiting for the snow
I'm waiting for vision
So I can feel brighter
I can feel lighter
I used to make mountains
But then they grew bigger than me
I thought that I'd climb my way up high
But what if I tumble?


[Chorus]
Have I said too much?
Did I love too hard?
This steel can't carry me now that things are rough

[Verse 2]
I used to make mountains
But then they grew bigger than me
And I used to hunger
So what can you offer me?
(What can you offer me?)
What can you offer me?
When you are all symphony
What can you offer me?

[Chorus]
Have I said too much?
Did I love too hard?
This steel can't carry me now that things are rough
Have I said too much?
Did I love too hard?
This steel can't carry me now that things are rough
(So what can you offer me?)
Now, what can you offer me?
(What can you offer?)
Now, what can you offer me?
(Wherever you are)
This steel can't carry me
(Wherever you are)
And you can't carry me, carry me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

“Waiting for the Snow” is the fourth track off Of Monsters and Men’s third studio album, FEVER DREAM.

The downbeat, soft ballad places Nanna in a self-questioning moment. She compares her past decisions, conquests, and triumphs against a sense of present emptiness.

It is essentially a backwards glance to what was once, and a hopeless wait upon what is to come.
