Years we've put it all out and away

To leave this town and all the dead-end days

Wheel jacks and tourniquets

Broken dreams in the alleyways

You and I were holding out

For better days

You said "I'm dying on the inside like a cancer"

So pack your bag and used the money you saved

Head out on the road, let's run away now

I don't wanna die that way, no

I don't wanna die that way, I'll

Meet you in December, I will

Meet you in December, I will

Meet you in December, underneath the foreign lights

I don't know what tomorrow brings

I'm just as scared as you, it seems

We'll find a place we've never seen

Take my hand and come with me

'Cause Johnny it will set you free

'Cause Johnny it will set you free

Please baby, look at me

Please, look at me, I'll

Meet you in December, I will

Meet you in December, I will

Meet you in December, underneath the foreign lights

A lifetime to remember

When your blue eyes turned to grey

When your skin went so cold

And then you, slowly slipped away

I'm an old man, but I remember

Every single day

A moment is a lifetime, that we cannot reclaim
