Cold as You
Taylor Swift · 2006

And now that I'm sitting here thinking it through / I've never been anywhere cold as you

Uncle Jerry reads Emily Dickinson's poem number 245 and calls it his favorite. He connects the 'amethyst remembrance', the memory of a perfect thing now lost, directly to Cold as You's central emotion: 'she remembers that she's never been anywhere as cold as him. And that's the sadness of it.' Angela & Uncle Jerry explicitly connect the Dickinson poem's theme of lost love reduced to memory with Cold as You's reflective sadness.
