December’s on the corner, arches her back like a sail
Cracked pavements make her taller,
arms wind round an iron rail
Looking younger than she feels,
she tastes the weather falling
Breaks the gutter with her heals,
she’ll wait for him till morning,
yeahyeahyeah, and she said:
Love’s a habit I can’t break, I give more
than I can take, hmm… and she said
Love’s a habit I can’t break, I give more
than I can take, hmm… and she said
She’s causing a distraction, as he
makes his way round closing time
Cos it’s key to her attraction,
that he sends a shiver down her spine
It hit her straight between the eyes,
she never saw it coming
Cut the ribbon with her knife,
she’s getting tired of running,
yeahyeahyeah, and she said
December’s in the corner,
blue lights flash across her skin
Somebody’s trying to call her,
doesn’t have the strength to let them in
It won’t take them long to find,
it’s not her blood that’s pouring
And she wishes love was blind, couldn’t
stand to see him fallen,
yeahyeahyeah, and she said…
