Gray NovemberI've been down since JulyMotion capturePut me in a bad light
I replay my footsteps on each stepping stoneTrying to find the one where I went wrongWriting lettersAddressed to the fire
And I was catching my breathStaring out an open windowCatching my deathAnd I couldn't be sureI had a feeling so peculiarThat this pain would be forEvermore
Hey DecemberGuess I'm feeling unmooredCan't rememberWhat I used to fight for
I rewind the tape but all it does is pauseOn the very moment all was lostSending signalsTo be double crossed
And I was catching my breathBarefoot in the wildest winterCatching my deathAnd I couldn't be sureI had a feeling so peculiarThat this pain would be forEvermore(Evermore)
Can't not think of all the costAnd the things that will be lostOh, can we just get a pause?To be certain we'll be tall againWhether weather be the frostOr the violence of the dog daysI'm on waves, out being tossedIs there a line that I could just go cross?
And when I was shipwrecked (can't think of all the cost)I thought of you (all the things that will be lost now)In the cracks of light (can we just get a pause?)I dreamed of you (to be certain we'll be tall again)(If you think of all the costs)It was real enough (whether weather be the frost)To get me through (or the violence of the dog days)(Out on waves being tossed)But I swear (is there a line that we could just go cross?)You were there
And I was catching my breathFloors of a cabin creaking under my stepAnd I couldn't be sureI had a feeling so peculiarThis pain wouldn't be forEvermoreEvermore (evermore)EvermoreThis pain wouldn't be for evermore (evermore)Evermore
