A Long December Lyrics

A long December and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I can't remember the last thing that she says
"You were leaving, oh the days go by so fast"And it's one more day up in The Canyons
And it's one more night in Hollywood
If you think that I could be forgiven
I wish you would
Na na na
YeahThe smell of hospitals in winter
And the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters, but no pearls
All at once you look across a crowded room
To see the way that light attaches to a girlAnd it's one more day up in The Canyons
And it's one more night in Hollywood
If you think you might come to California
I think you should
Na na na
YeahDrove up to hillside manor sometime after 2 a.m.
And talked a little while about the year

I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower
Makes you talk a little lower about the things you could not show herAnd it's been a long December and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself
To hold on to these moments as they passAnd it's one more day up in The Canyons
And it's one more night in Hollywood
It's been so long since I've seen the ocean
I guess I should
Na na na
YeahNa na na, yeah
Na na na, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
