[VERSE 1]
I couldn't do it the longest time
I had to wait until winter returned
In the summer couldn't make you mine
The memories started, oh, they'd only burn
[BRIDGE]
I couldn't get the ice in my veins
I couldn't get to that day-ay-ay
And when I did, couldn't get it to stay
[Chorus]
Now I finally feel the cold
I feel it coming
Gotta get it into my soul
I feel it numbing
I think of you and I feel the cold
I try to imagine
We're still together, you're mine to hold
And then it happens
[Chorus 2]
I'm barefoot in December next to you
I'm barefoot in December next to you
I'm barefoot in December next to you
I'm barefoot in December next to you
[VERSE 2]
I'm over life in the present tense
I'm moving backward, yeah, backward to you
Going crazy? No, I'm making sense
If nothing else does – so? – I'm going to
[BRIDGE 2]
I've gotta send the chill down my spine
I've gotta capture your sigh-igh-igh
Gotta get you in front of my eyes
[BREAKDOWN]
[Chorus]
