DOWN TO DECEMBER

I know I keep on breaking your heart
I wish that I could tell you why
And I wish that I loved you
The way that I want to
But with time, I've lost myself in my decline

And I wandered
Halfway 'round the world, just to wonder
If all the pain and all the hurting
Would just follow where I go
If it would find me tomorrow

And I wandered
Through the changing tides, just changing my mind
And I've wandered, and wondered, and wandered

And I don't know if I wanna stop time
It seems like time's the only way to go
I once saw the fall colors flicker
And time stood still, and only I knew
And for just that moment, no leaves fell
A cool autumn breeze, and I fluttered
Down to December

I wish that I was happy with this
I'd like to know I could be fine on my own
And I know that I love you
And I know that I want to
But with time, I've stopped seeing you as my home

And I wonder
If I could stop the world from turning, could I wander
Far enough to feel safe within
The corners of my mind?
And maybe then, I'd have the time

And I wonder, why in changing tides
I just keep changing my mind
And I've wandered, and wondered, and wandered
(Just changing my mind, and I've wandered and wondered)
(Wandered and wondered and wandered)
(Wandered and wondered and wandered)

And I don't know if I wanna stop time
It seems like time's the only way to grow
(Time's the only way to grow)
I once saw the fall colors flicker
And time stood still, and only I knew
And for just that moment, no leaves fell
A cool autumn breeze, and I fluttered
Down to December
