I couldn't do it the longest time
I had to wait until winter returned
In the summer couldn't make you mine
The memories started, oh, they'd only burn
I couldn't get the ice in my veins
I couldn't get to that day-ay-ay
And when I did, couldn't get it to stay
Now I finally feel the cold
I feel it coming
Gotta get it into my soul
I feel it numbing
I think of you and I feel the cold
I try to imagine
We're still together, you're mine to hold
And then it happens
I'm barefoot in December next to you
I'm barefoot in December next to you
I'm barefoot in December next to you
I'm barefoot in December next to you
I'm over life in the present tense
I'm moving backward, yeah, backward to you
Going crazy? No, I'm making sense
If nothing else does - so? - I'm going to
I've gotta send the chill down my spine
I've gotta capture your sigh-igh-igh
Gotta get you in front of my eyes
Now I finally feel the cold
I feel it coming
Gotta get it into my soul
I feel it numbing
I think of you and I feel the cold
I try to imagine
We're still together, you're mine to hold
And then it happens
