5 Forever December (4:47)

I reach within my isolation

I harbor it, I honor it

You say you'd like to see me closer

Of course you would, you have no choice

And I cry cause the weather has gotten to me

And I laugh at the people that I can't be all their lives

Silly pictures

Hey now now now, hey now hey baby

Baby's getting older

Hey now now now, hey now hey baby

The tide is turning, turning us away

You build the wall I'll build the fountain

We'll wrestle it, we'll conquer it

I think we'll live to see the mountain

Of course we will we have no choice

And I cry cause the weather has gotten to me

And I laugh at the people that I can't be all their lives

Silly pictures

Hey now now now, hey now hey baby

Baby's getting older, baby's getting older

Hey now now now, hey now hey baby

The tide is turning, don't turn me away

Version 1

And I can remember

Forever december

The center of dying, the heart of the pain

The rose in the bottle, the thorns in the bottom

The stars surround me, the cold astounds me

Version 2

And it wont take long, we both knew this

Well I wasn't quite prepared

For my center of dying, the heart of your pain

All my words get lost and I cant speak

Got my head stripped down well I get weak

And the words fall out like forever december

But soon it won't matter cause she wont mean nothing

And I cry cause the weather has gotten to me

And I laugh at the people that I can't be all their lives

Pretty pictures

Hey now now now, hey now hey baby

Baby's getting older, baby's getting older

Hey now now now, hey now hey baby

The tide is turning, turning us away

Hey now now now, hey now hey baby

Baby's getting older, baby's getting older

Hey now now now, hey now hey baby

The tide is turning, turning us away

Hey now now now, hey now hey baby

Baby's getting older, baby's getting older

Hey now now now, hey now hey baby

The tide is turning, turning us away
