Last summer happened when you let it fall Took off and never called until the snow came down again I've let it go but every now and then You're creeping back again Remind me that I'm over it December cold fits you well my dear Here's to another year of lingering regret [Chorus:] Line my roof with land mines (with landmines) We all need something to believe in But give me something real like happiness Line my roof with land mines (with landmines) We all need something to believe in But give me something real like happiness The days get shorter as I walk along And wonder what went wrong To pull you out that door again I can't escape the image of that life It cuts me like a knife But I'm numb to it so If Saint Nick is real Can he bring me a gift like the tin man So I can feel again Or is this only wishful thinking December cold fits you well my dear Here's to another year of lingering regret I've been waiting for your footprints in the snow on this cold Ohio night I said I'd stay away but at night I pray that you'll find your way to me
