Intro: (x2)
Verse 1:
Come closer, we're alone and it chills me to the bone
I wish that I'd been there to care, and carry you,
Carry you home
You're not the only one isolated and undone
So many miles to go, well I know, I know
Chorus:
I know you think that you've been down,
You never know when things will turn around; turn around.
I know you think that you've been down,
You never know when things will turn around; turn around.
Verse 2:
Come closer, we're alone and I know you feel so helpless.
I know; I know.
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge: (Electric, acoustic and drums only)
December, I remember: we smiled for a while.
In December, together we’ll climb and I'll carry you home
