December

Dozen of palm trees

Give up those car keys

And walk to the new year

Ignore these mischievous motives        

My balance and focus get blurry when you're near



But I want my Christmas day in the sun

All I want this year is California

It's not too much to ask for Christmas day in the sun

I need a better way to spend the new year

As long as you're around

Yeah



Rain drops are painted on rooftops

Locals, they don't stop

I know where it's headed

I'm not cut our for these parties

I know where my heart is

I try and forget it



So I want my Christmas day in the sun

All I want this year is California

It's not too much to ask for Christmas day in the sun

I need a better way to spend the new year

As long as you're around



Their faces always go away

When we were young I heard you say

It's yours to lose

It's yours to lose



Don't say i'll wait

You don't have to remember

I'm out of excuses

I hear the echos of us in the station

They're pointing and laughing



Reminding me

I want my Christmas day in the sun

All I want this year is California

It's not too much to ask for Christmas day in the sun

I need a better way to spend the new year December
