Two Sides To Every Story

I painted the house blue like the sky, hoping it would brighten up your life
Grass of green and rose of red, I thought this is what you wanted
But now we're standing in the yard, tearing each other apart
We've lost who we really are to the dark

I go back to the nights, all I wanted to do was fly
Back when we were younger, your hair was a little bit longer
Do you believe that what you say will make a difference in this someday
I just want to remember, back before December

I took your picture so you'd know how good you looked in the glow of the park lights
But now we're packing things in cars, both of us going so far
We've lost who we really are to the dark

I go back to the nights, all I wanted to do was fly
Back when we were younger, your hair was a little bit longer
Do you believe that what you say will make a difference in this someday
I just want to remember, back before December

I never felt more alive than I did on those summer nights
I dug my knees in the dirt, cause this is the only pain that ever really hurts

I go back to the nights, all I wanted to do was fly
Back when we were younger, your hair was a little bit longer
Do you believe that what you say will make a difference in this someday
I just want to remember, back before December
Back before December
I painted the house blue like the sky, hoping it would brighten up your life
