Ricky Montgomery's poignant lyrics delve into the depths of introspection and loneliness. The song appears to be a reflection on a time of solitude, possibly after a break-up, with December symbolizing the coldness and isolation he feels. The recurring line "I'm alright if you're alright" suggests an enduring concern for someone else's wellbeing, despite his own struggles. His admission to being "prone to getting blinded when it's bright" hints at difficulty in seeing the positive even when things are going well. The repeated mention of wanting the other person to see something when he does may indicate a shared experience or understanding he hopes they will reach. Overall, this song is a heartfelt expression of navigating personal darkness while still caring deeply for another's happiness.
