December 5th we nearly froze We warmed our hands over the kitchen stove You put up a fight but when my arms had closed You’d found your way into my coat And there you stayed I want to throw a punch that’ll make you proud I want to feel your eyes cut through the crowd and into me Defenselessly Yes, I know my turn has just begun I am tiger wild and blossom young But still I hope that I was more than your hit and run Driving home I couldn’t help but laugh at you Trying to stop shivering like you had something to prove Soon that black dress won’t be dancing no more It will slip off your shoulders into a puddle on my floor And there it will stay
