This song is about a day I slept for 13 hours, I had this wonderful dream. I woke up a few times in that sort of half wake half a sleep sort of way that you sometimes do on occasion, but fought my way back to that Utopian dream state. I didn't want to leave it ever. I was married to a woman that wholeheartedly loved me and I loved her the same. We were years into our marriage and I was away, out of state, on business. Not far though. We lived in New Jersey and I was in Virginia. There was this blizzard that hit both of our locations and she was home alone. We were on the phone and I was in my hotel room laying in bed in a room lit only by the lamp by my bedside. There was an warm orange glow to the room, probably due to the lampshade. She told me she missed me and asked wouldn't I be happier in a blanket with her at home falling asleep. I fell asleep on the phone with her and woke up in my bed. I couldn't get back to that place. I felt dreadful, mournful almost, and terribly still. I walked into my job minutes later, due to the short commute. I thought of the gift I bought for a lost love in my house and how I would likely never give it to her. And then, I picked up a ringing phone and went to work.
