Slow December

I remember when
We shared our very first apartment
Baby, back where it began
Our fourth-floor walk-up out in Boston
And we would never sleep
If we weren't sleeping with each other

And I know that our love is strong
But something's feeling off

It's been a slow December
I hope you're not this cold forever
I miss the fire, the tangled sheets, the rising of your body heat
You're lying here, but baby, where'd you go?
It's been a slow, slow December

Well, I'd fall into your arms
To hide from the heat of the summer
And you were pulling wild cards
But still steady and calm as my lover
And we were such a team

Nothing could come in between us

And I know that our love is strong
But something's wrong

It's been a slow December
I hope you're not this cold forever
I miss the fire, the tangled sheets, the rising of your body heat
You're lying here, but baby, where'd you go?
It's been a slow, slow

December, we were connected to each other
I traced every freckle on your body like a constellation
Held me like a treasure, the world gave us pressure
And we came out as diamonds, but this winter's getting cold

It's been a slow December
I hope you're not this cold forever
It's been a slow December
I hope you're not this cold forever
I miss the fire, the tangled sheets, the rising of your body heat
You're lying here, but baby, where'd you go?
It's been a slow, slow December
