December

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You took the wind, you took the sails You took the months between December and May And when the van went to the wreckers and we lost the flat with views of the bay I was only counting we were mounting our best counter attack And when we lay there in the shadow of the moment And the silence was all that we had [Chorus] We were happiest With nothing left We were happiest With nothing left, left [Post-Chorus] Stars, if I could be Where you are, watching me Stars, if I could be Where you are, watching me [Verse 2] There was music in the moment Then that came from having nothing to lose And when things were going better Well I always saw much less of you When the house was full of letters And our lives became a dance again I always thought back to the era When the weekends went forever It was all in our head [Chorus] We were happiest With nothing left We were happiest With nothing left, left [Bridge] If we were brave, if we were right We could get out of here If we were brave, if we were right We could get out of here If we were brave, if we were right We could get out of here If we were brave, if we were right We could get out of here [Verse 3] We took the wind, we took the sails We took the months between December and May And when the van went to the wreckers and we lost the flat with views of the bay [Chorus] We were happiest With nothing left We were happiest With nothing left, left [Post-Chorus] Stars, if I could be Where you are, watching me Stars, if I could be Where you are, watching me
