Matt Costa – Cold December lyrics

ive been waiting pacing along the halls
ever since you left here
ive been cleaning scrubbing the plates
and weeding out the garden dear

i cant fall asleep
to your mystery slowly blowing from the shore
i have not failed to be
what youd expect of me
swallowing glass just to stay pure

all the birds are heading down south
but youre staying up north you say
ive got jackets blankets and sheets
its going to be a cold december

it could be warm you see
a statue next to me
swimming away from the ice and snow
could i have failed to see
the signs in front of me
warning and flashing symbols
subtle and simple i couldnt see
i couldnt see

if only time could slow down
maybe i could come up
its such a cold december
its such a cold december
its so cold

i cant fall asleep
to your mystery slowly blowing from the shore
i have not failed to be
what youd expect of me
swallowing glass just to stay pure

summers come and summer has gone
your christmas cards cant comfort me
youve found new friends
and tied all the ends
its freezing in the loniest winter

it could be warm you see
a statue next to me
swimming away from the ice and snow
could i have failed to see
the signs in front of me
warning and flashing symbols
subtle and simple i couldnt see
i couldnt see

if only time could slow down
then maybe i could come up
its such a cold december
its such a cold december
its so cold
