Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You may tire of me
As our December sun is setting
'Cause I'm not who I used to be
[Verse 2]
No longer easy on the eyes
But these wrinkles masterfully disguise
The youthful boy below
[Verse 3]
Who turned your way and saw
Something he was not lookin' for
Both a beginning and an end
[Verse 4]
But now he lives inside
Someone he does not recognize
When he catches his reflection on accident
[Verse 5]
On the back of a motorbike
With your arms outstretched, tryin' to take flight
Leaving everything behind
[Verse 6]
But even at our swiftest speed
We couldn't break from the concrete
In the city where we still reside
[Verse 7]
And I have learned
That even landlocked lovers yearn
For the sea like navy men
[Verse 8]
'Cause now we say goodnight
From our own separate sides
Like brothers on a hotel bed
[Verse 9]
Like brothers on a hotel bed
Like brothers on a hotel bed
Like brothers on a hotel bed
[Verse 10]
You may tire of me
As our December sun is setting
'Cause I'm not who I used to be
