december - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

God only knows why I still feel the way I do

Wherever I go, I can't help but acclimate the truth

Adamant like peppermint is burning my chest

All the things you said to me, engraved in my head

Virginia has been good to me but I'm needing rest

Waiting for your mind to change so I'll just hold my breath

I thought by now that we'd be dancing by the fireplace

Or that we'd be watching old movies, staying up too late

I'd meet your family, we'd have dinner, and we'd all say grace

I thought we'd make it to December but you slipped away

I really thought that we could decorate the living room

Hear all about the relatives you wish you never knew

I'd book a flight to come and see you for the holidays

I thought we'd get snow this December but we just got rain

I thought we'd get snow this December but we just got rain

I'm in Virginia

For a couple days

Mama said I'd miss ya

Never felt so far away

Carolina

The place you feel at home

Need I remind ya

Darling, it's gonna be cold

Adamant like peppermint is burning my chest

All the things you said to me, engraved in my head

Virginia has been good to me but I'm needing rest

Waiting for your mind to change so I'll just hold my breath

I thought by now that we'd be dancing by the fireplace

Or that we'd be watching old movies, staying up too late

I'd meet your family, we'd have dinner, and we'd all say grace

I thought we'd make it to December but you slipped away

I really thought that we could decorate the living room

Hear all about the relatives you wish you never knew

I'd book a flight to come and see you for the holidays

I thought we'd get snow this December but we just got rain

I thought we'd get snow this December but we just got rain
