It is basically talking about two people who used to go out. They were in love but broke up. They've settled their differences and they can hang out with each other without jealousy of the other's boy/girlfriend. They are totally comfortable with each other and are just friends..nothing more, and they're cool with each other.

She is trying to tell her ex-boyfriend that she is cool, as in okay with everything that happened. She's cool with her ex-boyfriend getting a new girlfriend and she is definetly cool that they are still good friends, though she misses him and is a tad bit jealous of his new girlfriend, she is still happy for him.

This is clearly about her ex boyfriend (the subject of DON'T SPEAK) and how they were able to overcome the past and it's "a miracle that they are such good friends". You know how when you've been through so much with one person, and they are still there for you - you just KNOW you are cool? cool as in - this is a rock solid relationship and it's just not going to go away. "now that I've found the love of my life" is Gavin Rossdale. this is clearly about her life and loves. and I LOVE this song. it brings tears to my eyes.

This song is about Gwen and her bassist, who she dated for many years. The guy in the video looks exactly like him, too. It's about their past getting to this point and how she's grateful of their friendship and they're still "cool".
The good thing about Gwen is all of her songs are based off of life experiences, which almost cost her and Gavin not to get married, because he was irritated with all of their personal business being out there.

It's about one wonderous relationship that just didn't work. And even though it didn't, Gwen is realizing that hating the other person for what is no more is wrong. She wants to be happy for that person and his new relationship and wants him to be happy for her. She wants them to still have a stable friendship no matter what hardships they endured as one. She wants to be there for him no matter what. It's sort've about letting go and getting your priorities straight, and learning to celebrate to something bigger than yourself.

Yeah, apparently this is about Gwen's relationship and consequent break up with a No Doubt member quite a while ago. Not one of her best songs in my opinion. I rate "Early Winter" as one of the gr8est! Anyways she's just shouting out to say to him that she's down with his new relationship coz she has one too and its all. . .COOL! Well that's me done so ttfn! (ps I heart the ESC! Yaha its me again!)

The song is about a previous relationship most likely with Tony Kanal (a fellow No Doubt member) who is also the subject of Ex Girlfriend. It deals with how they have come to terms with their feelings for each other and how they have moved on
