december's just another month on the west coast
the sun is shining through the airport window
watching the flights change to delayed

'cause out east is a shaken snow globe
but that's where you are and where i want to go
everyone's grounded, crowded alone

what a holiday
storms will have their way
but i don't think i'll make it through
a winter without you

you almost have to laugh at the circumstance
we never had a fighting chance
i feel you slipping through my hands

i wish that i could see your smiling face
as i meet you with a warm embrace
but that's a punchline all in my mind

what a holiday
storms will have their way
but i don't think i'll make it through
a winter without you

even in my dreams you...
seem to...
fade out of my sight
into the freezing, snowy night

what a holiday
storms will have their way
but i don't think i'll make it through
a winter without you
