Two Hearts in December

[Verse 1 - Voice 1] The kettle's whistling low, the window's white with frost You wrote our names in breath on glass, then wiped it off Two mugs, one blanket, half a song we never learned December found us early and it hasn't let us go [Verse 2 - Voice 2] You handed me your gloves outside the closing store I kept the left one, still don't know just what that's for The streetlights turned the sidewalk into something gold And I was one cold minute short of falling for you whole [Pre-Chorus - Both] And every year the calendar comes back around To that same corner, that same falling, that same sound [Chorus - Both] So stay with me through every quiet winter night Two hearts still learning how to keep each other warm Let the years turn thin and grey outside the door I'll find you here again each and every December Same hand, same song, same you — for evermore [Verse 3 - Voice 1] You still leave one glass empty when the neighbors sing You save the last piece knowing it was always mine The candle burns down slower when you're close to me And nothing's ever loud when you are here at nine [Bridge - Voice 2] [soft] I used to dread the shortest days, the early dark [Voice 1] Now I count them down to hold you in the cold [Both] So if the world runs out of light, we'll make our own Right here, one blanket, half a song we finally know [Chorus - Both] So stay with me through every quiet winter night Two hearts still learning how to keep each other warm Let the years turn thin and grey outside the door I'll find you here again each and every December Same hand, same song, same you — for evermore [Outro - Both] [whispered] The kettle's whistling low, the window's white with frost And I'm not going anywhere at all
