December

[Verse 1]

I guess I had my chance

I'm told it was my obligation

At dusk, I held the ground

And prayed for morning to come quickly

That night I held your hand

Together we had bits and pieces

On that December night

You cried and cried and cried, but

[Chorus]

We held our lives

By the whims that govern conversations

We held our lives

By the whims that govern conversations

Wait, hold on

I'm not finished, fine

Never again

Will he ruin mine?

[Bridge]

December night

I'm told I had my obligations

December night

I tried and tried and tried, but

[Chorus]

We held our lives

By the whims that govern conversations

We held our lives

By the whims that govern conversations

Wait, hold on

I'm not finished, fine

Never again

Will he ruin mine?

Wait, hold on

I'm not finished, fine

Never again

Will he ruin mine?

[Bridge]

(When we were on we were on)

(When we were off we were way off)

[Outro]

We held our lives

By the whims that govern conversations

We held our lives

By the whims that govern conversations

We held our lives

By the whims that govern conversations

We held our lives

We held our lives
