December 5th we nearly froze
We warmed our hands over the kitchen stove
You put up a fight but when my arms had closed
You’d found your way into my coat
And there you stayed
I want to throw a punch that’ll make you proud
I want to feel your eyes cut through the crowd and into me
Defenselessly
Yes, I know my turn has just begun
I am tiger wild and blossom young
But still I hope that I was more than your hit and run
Driving home I couldn’t help but laugh at you
Trying to stop shivering like you had something to prove
Soon that black dress won’t be dancing no more
It will slip off your shoulders into a puddle on my floor
And there it will stay
