a long december Lyrics

A long December and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I can't remember the last thing that you said as you were leaving
Now the days go by so fast

And it's one more day up in the canyon
And it's one more night in Hollywood
If you think that I could be forgiven

The smell of hospitals and winter
And the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters but no pearls
All at once you look across a crowded room
To see the way the light attaches to a girl

And it's one more day up in the canyon
And it's one more night in Hollywood
If you think you might come to California
I think you should

Na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na yeah
Na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na yeah

Drove up to Hillside Manor sometimes after 2 AM
And talked a little while about the year
I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower
Makes you talk a little lower about the things you could not show her

Long December and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last (better than, better than)
I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself to hold on
To these moments as they pass

And it's one more day up in the canyon
And it's one more night in Hollywood
It's been so long since I have seen the ocean
I guess I should

Na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na yeah
Na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na yeah

(If I could I guess I should) na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na yeah

(If I could I guess I should) na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na yeah

(If I could I guess I should) na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na yeah

(If I could I guess I should) na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na yeah
