slow december

Rachel Platten

I remember when
We shared our very first apartment
Baby, back where it began
Our fourth-floor walk-up out in boston
And we would never sleep
If we weren t sleeping with each other

And I know that our love is strong
But something s feeling off

It s been a slow December
I hope you re not this cold forever
I miss the fire, the tangled sheets
the rising of your body heat
You re lying here, but baby, where d you go?
It s been a slow, slow December

Well, I d fall into your arms
To hide from the heat of the summer
And you were pulling wild cards
But still steady and calm as my lover
And we were such a team
Nothing could come in between us

And I know that our love is strong
But something s wrong

It s been a slow December
I hope you re not this cold forever
I miss the fire, the tangled sheets
the rising of your body heat
You re lying here, but baby, where d you go?
It s been a slow, slow

December, we were connected to each other
I traced every freckle on your body like a constellation
Held me like a treasure, the world gave us pressure
And we came out as diamonds, but this winter s getting cold

It s been a slow December
I hope you re not this cold forever
It s been a slow December
I hope you re not this cold forever
I miss the fire, the tangled sheets
the rising of your body heat
You re lying here, but baby, where d you go?
It s been a slow, slow December
