Lyrics:
There was a terrible storm and you were wearing all our coats
In the back of this car I feel like I have travelled nowhere
We buried in the snow I kept warm inside of your clothes
You swore that nothing would ever change the way we were right then
It was a colder night, bought a hotel I
I thought you would never find another love again
But you haven’t missed a thing
No you haven’t missed a thing
No you haven’t missed a thing
No you haven’t missed a thing
There was a terrible storm and you were wearing all our coats
In the back of this car I feel like I have travelled nowhere
We buried in the snow I kept warm inside of your clothes
You swore that nothing would ever change the way we were right then
It was a colder night, bought a hotel I
I thought you would never find another love again
But you haven’t missed a thing
No you haven’t missed a thing
No you haven’t missed a thing
No you haven’t missed a thing

Trivia and Quotes:
This song was inspired by The Hotel New Hampshire by John Irving.
“The last record, when we were writing it, I wrote this song- I wrote two songs about- I was reading this book called The Hotel New Hampshire by John Irving and then I finished reading it and then I rented the movie, do you ever do that, when you finish a book and then you go to the movie store and then you find the movie and it’s just not- it’s kind of sick, like it almost seems like it’s a TV movie version and it just- the world seems wrong and you feel really upset because at least when you read like a really great book and there’s no movie attached to it, there’s like the prospect of like a really- like all your favorite stars being cast in like a really great version of it. This is- and then when you read a really great book and then a bad movie’s been made, you wonder if the book is as good as you thought it was [...] anyways I wrote a couple of songs on this record kind of that were like, influenced by that book and then the disappointment of the movie.” - Sara in 2003
