Something About December

Lights around the tree
Mama's whistling
Takes me back again
There's Something bout' December

We're hanging mistletoe
And hoping that it snows
I close my eyes and then
I can still remember
How to get back, home

Let all your memories
Hold you close
No matter where you are
You're not alone
Because the ones you love
Are never far
If Christmas is in your heart

Who really needs a gift
When love is meant to give
I can still recall
Carry with me always
Every Christmas dream
They live in you and me

Let all your memories
Hold you close
No matter where you are
You're not alone
Because the ones you love
Are never far
If Christmas is in your heart

Lights around the tree
Mama's whistling
Takes me back again
There's Something bout' December

Let all your memories
Hold you close
No matter where you are
You're not alone
Because the ones you love
Are never far
If Christmas is in your heart

Backwards

Take me backwards, turn me around
I cannot find my balance on the ground
This world is too heavy
For a feather falling quickly

And I wrote your story
But I'm afraid of how it ends
And though my friends are doing well
And I'm still on the mend

I'm going to lay back down
Hope the wind takes me around
I gotta find some courage in this town

'Cause nobody's going to save
Somebody who won't change
I tried to be brave

And nothing's coming easy
And all at once, I feel a little queasy
Oh, but if you lost my remedy
Would you please come and be with me?

It's not like there's much better
But his grasp is as green as mine
I can't say that I'm satisfied 3 thousand miles
From your kiss goodbye

I'm going to lay back down
Hope the wind takes me around
I gotta find some courage in this town

And everybody's afraid
'Cause chances come from change
And everybody's afraid
'Cause chances come from breaking
And chances are you're breaking open

I'm going to lay back down
Hope the wind takes me around
I gotta find some courage in this town

'Cause nobody's going to save
Somebody who won't change
It's time to be brave

A Thousand Years Part 2

The day we met
Frozen, I held my breath
Right from the start
I knew that I found a home for my
Heart beats fast
Colours and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this

One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

I'll love you for a thousand more

One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

The Lonely

2 a.m., where do I begin?
Crying off my face again
The silent sounds of loneliness
Wants to follow me to bed

I'm a ghost of a girl that I want to be most
I'm the shell of a girl that I used to know well

Dancing slowly in an empty room
Can the lonely take the place of you?
I sing myself a quiet lullaby
Let you go and let the lonely in to take my heart again

Too afraid to go inside
For the pain of one more loveless night
But the loneliness will stay with me
And hold me 'til I fall asleep

I'm a ghost of a girl that I want to be most
I'm the shell of a girl that I used to know well

Dancing slowly in an empty room
Can the lonely take the place of you?
I sing myself a quiet lullaby
Let you go and let the lonely in to take my heart again

Broken pieces of
A barely breathing story
Where there once was love
Now there's only me and the lonely

Dancing slowly in an empty room
Can the lonely take the place of you?
I sing myself a quiet lullaby
Let you go and let the lonely in to take my heart again

Sad Song

Today I'm gonna write a sad song
Gonna make it really long
So that everyone can see
That I'm very unhappy

I wish I wasn't always wrong
I wish it wasn't always my fault
The finger that you're pointing
Has knocked me on my knees

And all you need to know is
I'm so sorry
It's not like me
It's maturity that I'm lacking

So don't, don't let me go
Just let me know
That growing up goes slow

I wonder what my mom and dad would say
If I told them that I cry each day
It's hard enough to live so far away

I wish I wasn't always cold
I wish I wasn't always alone
When the party is over
How will I get home?

And all you need to know is
I'm so sorry
It's not like me
It's maturity that I'm lacking

So don't, don't let me go
Just let me know
That growing up goes slow

If all the rules were meant to bend
And you swore you were my friend
Now I have to start all over again

'Cause no one's going to take your place
And I'm scared I'll never save
All the pieces of love we made

And I'm so sorry
It's not like me
It's maturity that I'm lacking

So don't, don't let me go
Just let me know
That I can slip and fall

And you won't let me go
Just let me know
That growing up goes slow

And I'm so sorry
It's not like me
It's maturity that I'm lacking

So don't, don't let me go
Just let me know
That growing up goes slow

Miles

I'm scared today
More than I told you I was yesterday
Give me a moment to catch my breath
And hold me every second left

Proud of me
That's the only way I want you to be
Look at me and love what you see

I won't make it alone
I need something to hold

Kiss me on my shoulder
Tell me it's not over
I promised to always come home to you

Remind me that I'm older
To be brave smart, sweet and bolder
And don't give up on what we're trying to do
Don't count the miles, count the I love you's

We made it out
And all the other people are asking how
This doesn't even sound like truth
To grow from a bruise

But one day we will realize
How hard it was, how hard we tried
And how our hearts made it out alive

Kiss me on my shoulder
Tell me it's not over
I promise to always come home to you

Remind me that I'm older
To be brave, smart, sweet and bolder
And don't give up on what we're trying to do
Don't count the miles, count the I love you's

And these are words I wish you said
But that's not how it went
'Cause you gave up on us in the end

And I won't make it alone
I need something to hold

Kiss me on my shoulder
Tell me it's not over
I promise to always come home to you

Remind me that I'm older
To be brave, smart, sweet and bolder
And don't give up on what we're trying to do

Kiss me on my shoulder
Tell me it's not over
I promise to come home to you

Remind me that I'm older
To be brave, smart, sweet and bolder
And don't give up on what we're trying to do
Don't count the miles, count the I love you's

Tragedy

If you could envision
The meaning of a tragedy
Ooh, you might be
Surprised to hear it's you and me

But when it comes down to it
You never made the most of it
Ooh, so I cried, cried, cried
And now I say goodbye

And I won't be made a fool of
Don't call this love

When did you decide
That I didn't have enough to buy?
Forgive and forget you a thousand times
For the fire and the sleepless nights

And I won't be made a fool of
Don't call this love
Don't call this love
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, love
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, love
La, la, love

Why did you feel the need
To prove that everybody else was right?
No, I won't fight

Oh, you're my tragedy, tragedy
You're my tragedy
Oh, this is, oh, oh, oh, oh, no, no, no

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, love
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, love
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, love

Mine

Wait a minute, I don't want you to know
It's the only way that I might grow
A secret's safe behind a pretty smile
And it's mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine

What's with all the late night liquored phone calls?
I don't think your lover likes me at all
A secret's safe behind a pretty smile
But it's mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine

What, what might you do
To find out why I can't love you?
I can't love you

And who said it was cool to be asking me these questions?
Your who, what and when, where and why are making my head spin
And when was it an option
To put your lips upon my lips?

And how did this happen
And why are you laughing
And how do I get back together again?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

What, what might you do?
And what, what might you do
To find out why, to find out why I can't love you?
I can't love you, I can't love you

Penguin

Can you find the time to let your lover love you?
He only wants to show you
The things he wants to learn too
The hardest parts you'll get through
And in the end you'll have your best friend.

Love like this may come once
Baby, it's fate
Like a soul-mate, he's your Penguin
Baby, it's fate
Baby, it's fate
Not luck

Can you find the time to let your lover hold you?
He needs somebody to hold too
His love is strong and so true
His arrow's aiming for you
And he's the one that you were born to love

Love like this may come once
Baby, it's fate
Like a soul-mate, he's your Penguin
Baby, it's fate
Baby, it's fate
Not luck

Let go
Let go of time for you and I
(repeat x2)

Love like this is all I want
Baby, we're fate
Love like this may come once
Baby, we're fate
Like a soul-mate, you're my Penguin
Baby, we're fate
Baby, it's fate
Not luck

Distance

The sun is filling up the room and I can hear you dreaming
Do you feel the way I do, right now?
I wish we would just give up
'Cause the best part is falling, call it anything but love

And I will make sure to keep my distance
Say "I love you" when you're not listening
And how long can we keep this up, up, up?

Please don't stand so close to me, I'm having trouble breathing
I'm afraid of what you'll see, right now
I'll give you everything I am
All my broken heartbeats until I know you'll understand

And I will make sure to keep my distance
Say "I love you" when you're not listening
And how long can we keep this up, up, up?

And I keep waiting for you to take me
You keep waiting to say what we have

So I'll make sure to keep my distance
Say "I love you" when you're not listening
And how long can we keep this up, up, up?

Make sure to keep my distance
Say "I love you" when you're not listening
How long till we call this love, love, love?

Arms

I never thought that you would be the one to hold my heart
But you came around and you knocked me off the ground from the start

You put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go
You put your arms around me and I'm home

How many times will you let me change my mind and turn around?
I can't decide if I'll let you save my life or if I'll drown

I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let our love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home

The world is coming down on me and I can't find a reason to be loved
I never wanna leave you but I can't make you bleed if I'm alone

You put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go...

I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me, 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let our love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home

I tried my best to never let you in to see the truth
And I've never opened up
I've never truly loved 'til you put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go

I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me, 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let our love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home

You put your arms around me and I'm home
