December Lyrics

Verse:
The afternoon has settled long and heavy on my shoulders
The winter's light feels different on my skin
It doesn't seem to strike as far below the surface so
D/F# ( F C ) x3
I have to conclude that (shadow won't let it in )
CHORUS:
December?
You've always been a problem child
December... You run me down right restless and wild
And I remember when you used to be mine
December-whoooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaah
Verse 2:
The leaves are all still changing, the weather here is mild and vacant
Winter's blooming on Los Angeles
The artificial cold was more than I was hoping for
D/F# ( F C ) x3
But not enough to consume (the darkened state I'm in )
Chorus:
December?
You've always been a problem child
December... You run me down right restless and wild
And I remember when you used to be mine
December-whoooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaah
Bridge:
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
Repeat Chorus for instrumental part.
