Last summer happened when you let it fall
Took off and never called until the snow came down again
I've let it go but every now and then
You're creeping back again
Remind me that I'm over itDecember cold fits you well my dear
Here's to another year of lingering regret[Chorus:]
Line my roof with land mines (with landmines)
We all need something to believe in
But give me something real like happiness
Line my roof with land mines (with landmines)
We all need something to believe in
But give me something real like happinessThe days get shorter as I walk along
And wonder what went wrong
To pull you out that door again
I can't escape the image of that life
It cuts me like a knife
But I'm numb to it soIf Saint Nick is real
Can he bring me a gift like the tin man
So I can feel again
Or is this only wishful thinkingDecember cold fits you well my dear
Here's to another year of lingering regretI've been waiting for your footprints in the snow on this cold Ohio night
I said I'd stay away but at night I pray that you'll find your way to me
