This December
Ricky Montgomery Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think I'm prone to getting blinded when it's bright
Well, this December, I'll remember
Want you to see it when I do, ooh-ooh-ooh
God knows I do
Only in my darkest moments can I see the light
I think I'm prone to getting blinded when it's bright
Oh well, this December, I'll remember
Want you to see it when I do, ooh-ooh-ooh
God knows I do
I'm alright if you're alright
And I'm okay if you're okay
It's this state, in this state I'm living in
It's just a little bit, it's just a little bit
Lonely in this home
It's always colder on your own
My darlin', I
I let the season change my mind
Hey
Only in my darkest moments
I wanna see you with your head wide open
Empty in the ground, gone without a sound
Just another white elm growing at the end of town
Well, this December, I'll remember
Want you to see it when I do, ooh-ooh-ooh
God knows I do
Well, I'm alright if you're alright
And I'm okay if you're okay
It's this state, in this state I'm living in
It's just a little bit, it's just a little bit
Lonely in this home
It's always colder on your own
My darlin', I
I let the season change my mind
I'm alright if you're alright
I'm okay if you're okay
It's this state, in this state I'm living in
It's just a little bit, it's just a bit
Maybe, this December, I'll remember
Want you to see it when I do, ooh-ooh-ooh
God knows I do
The lyrics of "This December" by Ricky Montgomery reflect the emotions of the singer in the darkest moments of his life. The opening lines, "Only in my darkest moments can I see the light, I think I'm prone to getting blinded when it's bright," refer to the state of confusion and uncertainty the singer faces when things are going well. He admits that he needs these moments of darkness to appreciate the light, which is also a metaphor for the good times in life.
The chorus, "Well, this December, I'll remember, want you to see it when I do," is an invitation to someone special to share a memory, possibly a moment of clarity during a difficult time. The singer repeats the line, "God knows I do," emphasizing the depth of his feelings and the sincerity of his invitation. The second verse mentions the loneliness that can come with the holiday season, a time traditionally spent with family and friends. The line, "It's always colder on your own," refers to the isolation that can make things more difficult.
The third verse contains a slightly surreal image of a "white elm growing at the end of town," which creates a sense of distance and detachment. The song then concludes with a repeated chorus and the hope that the moment will be shared.
