December

December was nice before I'd ever had a lover Now I just cry at people caring for each other Seems like the nights are falling, darker than ever Thought I would like it 'til it felt like forever And it's cold out, was it this cold out When I was little, and I liked when it snowed out? I can't remember, but I still feel your sweater Overheating in the summer, now I'm cold in December Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh December was fine before I ever learned to travel Now I'm in line, marking my baggage as fragile They tell me home is where my heart is beating steady But lately, it's split between a couple different cities And I miss you, why do I miss you? On a plane miles and miles away, I'm still with you We're touching down, but I still feel you at my center You were home back in August, now I'm alone in December And so, I have to change with the seasons Let the autumn fall away with you leaving I can disappear in the cold like every other year Hide in holiday cheer, ooh-ooh And at night, I'll face all my demons Summer's when they hibernate, now I'm freezing What I wouldn't do to be a kid, be at home, be with you What I wouldn't do Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh December was mine when I could tolerate the weather When it made me smile to see anybody together I can still hope that January will be better Used to call it getting older, now I call it December
