December
By Ryan Johnston

I got these things living inside of me

And sometimes, they just won't let me breathe. 

If I could run fast enough, the other way

I could end up back in that time

I got this feeling in the back of my mind

I'd change everything. Find you, again

Well, I've been trying to sleep at night

But, these years are lining up outside

I found you, while I was filling the holes

Because I couldn't even move without falling in 

I used to think that you'd save my life

Because it was you, somehow, that knew me best

You say the one thing, that could fill up your heart

Won't come to you, when you're looking so lost

So I guess that gives me something to find

But these nights, they've been getting to me

And you wished I had something better to say

That you were leaving soon either way

Well, me too. Yeah, me too

Well, there's a war deep inside of me

Doesn't seem like anybody could win

There's a wild fire spreading through me

And I just can't seem to snuff it out

Passing you, walking down our old stairs

Slow motion, as we both laughed and smiled

And there's this feeling, all around me tonight

That I'm never going to see you again
