lyrics

December

On their way up north silence was master
There’s a great big storm about to rise here
Seems like it’s gonna be a great disaster
The road is long, it’s cold as hell
How could they have known what was about to happen on that second day of December

Deeper down the road, they get to their shelter
Snow covered the ground, the pines are heavy
Billie’s running outside, tail wagging, she’s so god damn happy
Bringing firewood in together
Dragging snow inside, they smile at her

Seems like it’s gonna be a great disaster
He lights a fire, she brings up a bottle
Won’t look at each other
They latch on hatred in their wooden house they built together

Out of excuses, chaos is slowly taking over
Like a blizzard storm becoming greater
He grabs his jacket, he needs to pause this hostile behaviour
Shuts the door, so loud, behind him
She takes another bottle from the cellar

Seems like it’s gonna be a great disaster
Storm’s calming now, it’s still cold as hell
Out of control, who’s fault it was, she can’t remember
All she knows is that she loves him

Walking further onto the frozen water, regret it starts to sink in
He sees her inside their house but she doesn’t bother
Didn’t see you fall in the ice there
Watching Billie curl up against the fire

Wish I could’ve told you it doesn’t matter
Wish I talked about your laughter
