The December Sessions - Lyrics


1.  Christiana (2:55) 

This is what I see
This is where I'll leave you
I fall for that one every time
It's nothing new I'll be just fine

That's my Christiana
12 feet in the sky
That's my Christiana
Hoped you'd be my guiding light

This is what I see
That's the way it all looks to me
When trouble finds you on your knees
To hell with what you think you need

Just go and wash me off your hands

That's my Christiana
12 feet in the sky
That's my Christiana
Hoped you'd be my guiding light

That's my Christiana
12 feet in the sky
Gray says "Lately I've been way down"
Get me through the night

2.  Silhouettes (3:13) 

So it goes
Another photo finish
When I'm racing with your ghost
Are we all destined for confusion?
This hasn't been the same
Thought I heard you whisper
Then I realize it's the rain

Try your best to tell me
Tomorrow will be easy
And say it with a smile
All this seems so familiar
I'll rest when I get home
And some things you know
Are better left alone

So dress yourself in silhouettes
Do your best impression of yourself
I promise I will fall for it
And will it really be alright?
It's getting harder to believe 
But I've always had tricks up my sleeve

Do I have to
Repeat myself or
Did I make it through this time
Just wait for our eyes to adjust
We'll see what's been hiding from us
Or set fire to it all
And sweep away the dust. . .

So dress yourself in silhouettes
Do your best impression of yourself
I promise I will fall for it
And will it really be alright?
It's getting harder to believe 
But I've always had tricks up my sleeve

3.  Already Home (4:23)

Well I'll try to find how to describe
Everything inside
How did I get in this position?
I beg you just hang on and listen
Now that I've got your attention
This ride's almost done
Well life was made for moments like this
No question as to "why do we exist?"
Seems like my heart got the best of me

Oh now
Feel around
Is it beating like it used to?
Oh now
Feel around
I'm already home

I'm sorry my words have two meanings
I'll leave this up to you
But this instance isn't isolated
When you hear this song I hope you hate it
I told you I was only human
And now here I stand
I just have to get my legs under me
Watch me go out of my way
Seems like my mind got the best of me

Oh now
Feel around
Is it beating like it used to?
Oh now
Feel around
I'm already home

4.  Something In The Air (3:48)

It finally feels like October
Maybe now I can get some sleep
Tell me once more it's over
Stop me now that I'm in too deep
And I'm so alive
We're casting shadows in the night
The candle's burning at both ends
And if I missed my chance before
All I need is just one more
I dare you to forget my name

There's something in the air darling
There's something in your eyes
I whisper in your ear something you will like
And tonight you know that you're mine
Take my hand and hold tight

Every promise I made you
Every word that I ever said
And I swear that I'd love to
Go back so we can move ahead
Concrete fingerprints
The footsteps that I'd take again
All the things that I would change
And if I missed my chance before
All I need is just one more 
I dare you to forget my name

There's something in the air darling
There's something in your eyes
I whisper in your ear something you will like
And tonight you know that you're mine
Take my hand and hold tight

Someday. . 
We'll leave this all behind
And you'll say
It's all I had in mind

5.  I'll Take It From Here (3:34)

There's an ocean and miles between us
A whole world you should have seen just
Waiting for you right outside your window

My eyes are damn near open
And I waste too much time hoping
You'll scream out all the words that you know

Excuse me if I'm cavalier

But I'll take it from here
And no one else will say a word
When all this disappears
You can forget everything you heard

And there's no easy way to say this
The only path to yesterday is
Crawling through your dreams on hands and knees

I live life with the volume turned down
You learn more without hearing a sound
It's hard to believe what you can't see

Excuse me if I'm cavalier

But I'll take it from here
And no one else will say a word
When all this disappears
You can forget everything you heard

Excuse me if I'm cavalier
But it's all you'll get cuz it's all that's here
Let me make just one thing clear
I'll take it from here. . .

6.  May Day (3:40)

Everything's so different
I can tell it's just a game
You're only acting like you mean it
Did you believe a word she said?

Would you be surprised
That she will let you down
Is it worth the fight?

It's only a battle lately
I can't breathe around you
I'll scream about you
May Day
This love's ship sunk
They say
The crash was head on
May Day
Give up on this one

Don't make promises you
Don't intend to keep
And if you ever think about me
Not to worry I'm not losing any sleep

Would you be surprised
That she will let you down
Is it worth the fight?

It's only a battle lately
I can't breathe around you
I'll scream about you
May Day
This love's ship sunk
They say
The crash was head on
May Day
Give up on this one

One more time we can talk this through
There's no hope left for me and you
We play these games no consequence
But I'll tell you this is where it ends
