December Lyrics - The Blessed Unrest - Sara Bareilles

The afternoon has settled long and heavy on my shoulders 

The winter's light feels different on my skin 

It doesn't seem to strike as far below the surface so 

I have to conclude that shadow won't let it in 

That shadow won't let it in, shadow won't let it in 

December... 

You've always been a problem child 

December... 

You run me down right restless and wild 

And I remember when you used to be mine 

December... 

December...

The leaves are all still changing, the weather here is mild and vacant 

A winter's blooming on Los Angeles 

The artificial cold is more than I was hoping for 

But not enough to consume the darkened state I'm in 

The darkened state I'm in, the darkened state I'm in 

December... 

You've always been a problem child 

December... 

You run me down right restless and wild 

But I remember when you used to be mine 

December... 

December...

Distill a whole year down into a day 

Act like we all start over with a pristine slate 

But to get yourself a new life you've got to give the other one away 

And I'm starting to believe in the power of a name 

Cause it can't be a mistake if I just call it change 

December... 

Can't turn around now 

December... 

Break the chain, can't live in circles again
