This is a re-recording/alternate version of the acoustic hit from their album Life’s Not Out To Get You featuring Blink-182 bassist and singer Mark Hoppus. The lyrics don’t change much from the original version; its main deviation is in the melody, due to the fact that this song is more Pop-Punk dri...
[Verse 1: Ben Barlow]
Walked round the block a thousand times
You missed every call that I had tried, so now I'm giving up
A heartbreak in mid December
You don't give a fuck
You'd never remember me while you're pulling on his jeans
Getting lost in the big city
I was looking out your window
Watching all the cars go
Wondering if I'll see Chicago
Or a sunset on the west coast
Or will I die in the cold?
Feeling blue and alone
I wonder if you'll ever hear this song on your stereo
[Chorus: Ben Barlow]
I hope you get your ballroom floor
Your perfect house with rose red doors
I'm the last thing you'd remember
It's been a long, lonely December
I wish I'd known that less is more
But I was passed out on the floor
And that's the last thing I remember
It's been a long, lonely December
[Verse 2: Ben Barlow]
Cast me aside to show yourself in a better light
I came out grieving, barely breathing, and you came out alright
But I'm sure you'll take his hand
I hope he's better than I ever could've been
My mistakes were not intentions
This is a list of my confessions I couldn't say
[Pre-Chorus: Ben Barlow]
Pain is never permanent but tonight it's killing me
[Chorus: Ben Barlow]
I hope you get your ballroom floor
Your perfect house with rose red doors
I'm the last thing you'd remember
It's been a long, lonely December
I wish I'd known that less is more
But I was passed out on the floor
And that's the last thing I remember
It's been a long, lonely December
[Bridge: Mark Hoppus]
I miss your face
You're in my head
There's so many things that I should've said
A year of suffering, a lesson learned
I miss your face
You're in my head
There's so many things that I should've said
A year of suffering, a lesson learned
[Chorus: Ben Barlow & Mark Hoppus]
I hope you get your ballroom floor
Your perfect house with rose red doors
I'm the last thing you'd remember
It's been a long, lonely December
I wish I'd known that less is more
But I was passed out on the floor
And that's the last thing I remember
It's been a long, lonely December

Ben told Alternative Press:
To have Mark and Chris featuring on each version of the track is wild, seeing as they’re huge—if not some of the biggest—musical influences for us. The different versions of the track are pretty fitting for the pair of them, and their voices really lend something extra t...
