[Verse 1] Call me up on the phone, crying, saying you got nowhere to go Well it’s strange ‘cause I still remember you saying that back in December’s snow Oh you know how it never really lands like we planned You left one night in the cold, empty keys in my hand Spent months trying to stitch up every crack that you tore Paging through the past like a note on the floor Not a spark of hope in the dark of the hall Wishing that you never tried to make that call at all I let you in, now these rooms feel wrong I let you in, where the light once shone strong I let you in, now the walls hum along, I let you in, to every quiet song [Pre-Chorus] Now the winter air sits heavy in my bones Every midnight street just leads me home alone [Chorus] Now you’re gone All the memories we made feel a little too small Like the Polaroids fading on my bedroom wall And I’m tired of waiting, hoping you might call Every echo in the hallway just repeats your fall Met a new girl, yeah, and she walks so tall She’s her own kind of world, a soft quiet drawl In the pieces of my heart where you used to crawl She’s a whole new sky, she makes it whole [Verse 2] Every song on the radio sounds like last year’s rain Every corner of the city just repeats your name I replay our December like a scene stuck on loop Two ghosts in the kitchen, cheap wine, paper cups of soup You left your jacket hanging on the back of my chair I keep it by the window like you might reappear Told myself I’d forget you by the time the snow melts But every crack in the pavement is a place where it felt Like I let you in, to my tangled mind I let you in, left the past unlined I let you in, to the space between I let you in, to the quiet unseen [Pre-Chorus] Now the city lights blur out into a haze Every passing face just fades into your gaze [Chorus] Now you’re gone All the memories we made feel a little too small Like the Polaroids fading on my bedroom wall And I’m tired of waiting, hoping you might call Every echo in the hallway just repeats your fall Met a new girl, yeah, and she walks so tall She’s her own kind of world, a soft quiet drawl In the pieces of my heart where you used to crawl She’s a whole new sky, she makes it whole [Bridge] Maybe someday I’ll forget the sound Of December on the line when you broke it down Maybe someday I’ll stop checking my phone For a number that once felt just like home She’s laughing in the kitchen under soft lamp glow And for a moment I can feel my heavy heart let go [Chorus] Now you’re gone All the memories we made feel a little too small Like the Polaroids fading on my bedroom wall And I’m tired of waiting, hoping you might call Every echo in the hallway just repeats your fall Met a new girl, yeah, and she walks so tall She’s her own kind of world, a soft quiet drawl In the pieces of my heart where you used to crawl She’s a whole new sky, she makes it whole
