Gray November, I've been down since July Motion capture, put me in a bad light I replay my footsteps on each steppin' stone Tryna find the one where I went wrong Writin' letters addressed to the fire And I was catchin' my breath Starin' out an open window, catchin' my death And I couldn't be sure, I had a feelin' so peculiar That this pain would be for evermore Hey, December, guess I'm feelin' unmoored Can't remember what I used to fight for I rewind the tape, but all it does is pause On the very moment all was lost Sendin' signals to be double-crossed And I was catchin' my breath Barefoot in the wildest winter, catchin' my death And I couldn't be sure, I had a feelin' so peculiar That this pain would be for evermore (evermore) Cannot think of all the cost And the things that will be lost Oh, can we just get a pause? To be certain, we'll be tall again Whether weather be the frost Or the violence of the dog days I'm on waves, out bein' tossed Is there a line that I could just go cross? And when I was shipwrecked (can't think of all the cost now) I thought of you (all the things that will be lost now) In the cracks of light (can we just get a pause?) I dreamed of you (to be certain we'll be tall again) (If you think of all the cost) it was real enough (whether weather be the frost) To get me through (or the violence of the dog days, or the violence of the dog days) Out on waves, bein' tossed (I'm on waves, out bein' tossed) But I swear (is there a line that we can just go cross?) You were there And I was catchin' my breath Floors of a cabin creakin' under my step And I couldn't be sure, I had a feelin' so peculiar This pain wouldn't be for evermore Evermore (evermore) Evermore This pain wouldn't be for evermore Evermore
