december

[Verse 1]
I rip my bandages off
So I can thank you
For every day that I’ve spent
Learning to love again
It’s something I couldn’t preach
Until I met you
As nature grinds at my teeth

[Pre-Chorus]
I feel like I can do anything if I try
I’ll stop all my worrying in due time
A promise I can deliver
Put finger to trigger
And pull if you’d like
(But watch the Earth refuse to die)

[Chorus]
This December, I’ll be better
Find another foe to face
And after one it’s hardly over
Lest I try to find complacence
When you knock at my temple
You’d think I’m going mental
But treating every little scene
With tinted glass won’t change a thing
Oh, I know I can’t paint the cracks
That’s just the way it stacks
In all, I’ll be coming back to take it off the wall

[Verse 2]
Remember late afternoons along the byway?
You’d joke that’s where you belong
Now I hear nature call
With every step a mistake
I’ll make it my game
As I stare death in the face

[Pre-Chorus]
I feel like I can do anything if I try
I’ll stop all my worrying in due time
A promise I can deliver
Put finger to trigger
And pull if you’d like

[Chorus]
This December, I’ll be better
Find another foe to face
And after one it’s hardly over
Lest I try to find complacence
When you knock at my temple
You’d think I’m going mental
But treating every little scene
With tinted glass won’t change a thing
Oh, I know I can’t paint the cracks (paint the cracks)
That’s just the way it stacks
In all (in all)
