She stands under the light, waiting for you
Only to say that the light is fading
Running to the door, you trip over what you’re looking for
Years of hiding your head in your hands

And when you feel yourself jumping from the highest height
To the scariest point below
Please promise me this one thing
You won’t fall ‘cause you think you’re in love

And I say don’t leave until you tell her tonight
And I say tell her she’s your baby
In December, under the light

When the night gets so dark and the world is cold
You know that she’ll be there for you to hold
And I will not be your winter
No I won’t call you outside

 Grey is the room that holds your heart
And red are the eyes that let you see
What you seek to find but you’re too scared to see
Oh, everything you can be

And I say don’t leave until you tell her tonight
And I say tell her she’s your baby
In December, under the light

And I say don’t leave until you tell her tonight
And I say tell her she’s your baby
In December, under the light
Under the light

And I say don’t leave until you tell her tonight
And I say tell her she’s your baby
In December, under the light

 ‘Cause only you know the degrees of your heart
