December

God only knows
Why I still feel the way I do
Wherever I go
I can't help but acclimate the truth

Adamant like peppermint
It's burning my chest
All the things you said to me
Engraved in my head
Virginia has been good to me
But I'm needing rest
Waiting for your mind to change
So I'll just hold my breath

I thought by now that we'd be dancing by the fireplace
Or that we'd be watching old movies staying up too late
I'd meet your family
We'd have dinner
And we'd all say grace
I thought we'd make it to December
But you slipped away
I really thought that we could decorate the living room
Hear all about the relatives you wish you never knew
I'd book a flight to come and see you for the holidays
I thought we'd get snow this December
But we just got rain

I thought we'd get snow this December
But we just got rain

I thought we'd get snow this December
But we just got rain

I'm in Virginia
For a couple days
Mama said I'd miss ya
Never felt so far away
Carolina
The place you feel at home
Need I remind ya
Darlin', it's gonna be cold

Adamant like peppermint
It's burning my chest
All the things you said to me
Engraved in my head
Virginia has been good to me
But I'm needing rest
Waiting for your mind to change
So I'll just hold my breath

I thought by now that we'd be dancing by the fireplace
Or that we'd be watching old movies staying up too late
I'd meet your family
We'd have dinner
And we'd all say grace
I thought we'd make it to December
But you slipped away
I really thought that we could decorate the living room
Hear all about the relatives you wish you never knew
I'd book a flight to come and see you for the holidays
I thought we'd get snow this December
But we just got rain

I thought we'd get snow this December
But we just got rain

I thought we'd get snow this December
But we just got rain

(Just got rain)
