December

The afternoon has settled long and heady on my shoulders

The winter's light feels different on my skin

It doesn't seem to strike as far below the surface so

I have to conclude that shadow won't let it in

That shadow won't let it in Shadow won't let it in

December

Ou've always been a problem child

December You run me down restless and wild

And I remember when you used to be mine December

The leaves are all still changing

The weather here is mild and vacant

A winter's blooming on Los Angeles

The artificial cold is more than I was hoping for

But not enough to consume the darkened state

I'm in

The darkened state

I'm in The darkened state

I'm in

December

You've always been a problem child

December

You run me down restless and wild

But I remember when you used to be mine December

Distill a whole year down into a day

Act like we all start over with a pristine slate

But to get yourself a new life you've got to give the other one away

And I'm starting to believe in the power of a name

Cause it can't be a mistake if I just call it change

December Can't turn around now

Break the chain can't live in circles again December
