Somethings I thought might be better left unsaid
 I kept them bottled up with a message that read
 I’d hate to see this change at all

 I can’t get to sleep
 I miss the way that your lips taste
 on hot summer nights
 I know you’re feeling the same way
 I know you’re thinking about me
 and the plans that we’ve made
 it’s just the distance and space
 I can’t wait [bad word] home

 You laughed it off
 when everyone you know
 said “don’t wait, he’ll just waste your time”
 You have my back
 So I’m by your side
 And I’ll never let this go

 This December won’t feel so cold
 I promise this time (finally)
 I’ll be closer than a phone call away
 I just thought that you should know

 With all I’ve got I hope to god that I
 can find a way to stay afloat with you
 I’ve ground my knuckles to the bone
 and I’ve swallowed fire to keep you warm

 You laughed it off
 when everyone you know
 said “don’t wait, he’ll just waste your time”
 You have my back
 So I’m by your side
 And I’ll never let this go

 This December won’t feel so cold
