Forever December Lyrics
I reach within my isolation,
I harbor it, I honor it
You say you'd like to see me closer,
Of course you would, you have no choice
(intro to chorus)
And I cry cause the weather has gotten to me, and I laugh at the people that I can't be,
All their lives,
Silly pictures
(chorus)
Hey now now now, hey now hey baby
Baby's getting older
Hey now now now hey now hey baby
The tide is turning, turning us away,
You build the wall I'll build the fountain,
We'll wrestle it,
We'll conquer it
I think we'll live to see the mountain
Of course we will
We have no choice
(intro to chorus)
(chorus)
And I can remember
Forever december,
The center of dying,
The heart of the pain
The rose in the bottle,
The thorns in the bottom
The stars surround me, the cold astounds me
(solo)
(intro to chorus)
(chorus)
I harbor it, I honor it
You say you'd like to see me closer,
Of course you would, you have no choice
And I cry cause the weather has gotten to me, and I laugh at the people that I can't be,
All their lives,
Silly pictures
Hey now now now, hey now hey baby
Baby's getting older
Hey now now now hey now hey baby
The tide is turning, turning us away,
We'll wrestle it,
We'll conquer it
I think we'll live to see the mountain
Of course we will
We have no choice
(chorus)
Forever december,
The center of dying,
The heart of the pain
The rose in the bottle,
The thorns in the bottom
The stars surround me, the cold astounds me
(intro to chorus)
(chorus)

There is an alternate version of this song, with slightly different lyrics... :
Reach within my isolation, I harbor it, I honor it Say you'd like to see me closer, Of course you would, you have no choice
(intro to chorus) And I cry cause the weather has gotten to me, and I laugh at the people that I can't be, cause all their lives, are silly pictures
(chorus) So hey now now now, hey now hey baby Baby's getting older Baby's getting older
You build the wall I'll build the fountain, We'll wrestle it, oh we'll conquer it I think we'll live to see the mountain well of course we will We have no choice
(intro to chorus)
So hey now now now, hey now hey baby Baby's getting older Baby's getting older Hey now now now hey now hey baby The tide is turning, don't turn me away,
And It wont take long we both knew this But i wasnt quite prepared for my center of dying the heart of your pain all my words get lost and I can't speak got my head stripped down Well i get weak and the words fall out like forever december soon it wont matter cause she wont mean nothing
(solo) She don't mean nothing she wont mean nothing (intro to chorus) Hey now now now, hey now hey baby Baby's getting older Baby's getting older Hey now now now hey now hey baby The tide is turning, Don't turn me away Hey now now now, hey now hey baby Baby's getting older my baby's getting older Hey now now now hey now hey baby yeah the tide is turning, don't turn me away (fade out)
Don't ask me why...maybe it's the lyrics...maybe it's the music...maybe it's where i was when i first heard it...but this is my absolute favorite song of all time...and will always be. I first heard it 2 years ago, and i was always waiting for it to come true (because then it had to meaning to me) and then...december 29th, 2002, my g/f dumped me...
im listening to this song right now, its a beautiful song.
Very good song. Both versions are awesome. Can't pick a favorite, as they're both unique in their own wonderful tune. Another example of Rob's lost past being one of the most amazing points in his musical career.
I wish that he could do this song now.. but he didnt get control of it when Tabithas secret split up.. its a great song whatever it means.. so deep Rob uses important words not just silly fluff... was such an honor to get to chat with him.... twice...
@bonn310 have you heard him sing this live? I love it so much.. I am seeing MB20 next week and would love them to play some Tabithas Secret.

I love this song. It's the perfect winter song, the one you listen to while you're outside at seven in the morning in mid december and it's snowing. Lol. It's a shame that few people realize how great this bad was. They got completely overshadowed by Matchbox. Shame, but they still get played on university radio.
