This December

(Verse 1) I saw your name on the back of a note That I swear I’d thrown away Funny how the past just floats Back in on a cold, gray day I heard you moved across the town Took your records, left the chair Guess I thought you'd come around But maybe you’re just not there (Pre-Chorus) Everyone says you're doing fine I pretend I'm not keeping time (Chorus) But this December Feels a lot like last year Days old coffee, same old fear That you won’t call, and I won’t ask If we were ever built to last I don’t remember What it felt like with you near But I miss you more this time of year This December (Verse 2) I walk by that old café Where we used to split the check They put lights up yesterday Still that place is a frozen wreck I laughed it off with a couple of friends Said I’m better now, and I meant it then But when the air gets sharp and still I wonder if you ever will... (Pre-Chorus) Tell me why we let it fade Or if we ever had it made (Chorus) 'Cause this December Feels a lot like last year Same old silence in my ear If you won’t call, I won’t ask Just fold it up, another mask I can’t remember Why I thought you'd reappear But I miss you more this time of year This December (Bridge) You don’t owe me anything But I still check my phone Like a fool for the memory That never really let me go (Final Chorus) Yeah, this December Is colder than it should be Maybe that’s just missing you and me You won’t call, I won’t ask But I still live in our past I just remember When your voice could draw me near And I miss you more this time of year This December (Outro) I saw your name, and just like that It all came rushing back
