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
