December Streets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Think I might find somebody better (Somebody better)
Looking back, all we did is fight (What you do, what you doing to me?)
I need to get you off my mind, yeah
Why you gotta be so lonely?
Why you gotta be so stuck in your head?
Now you need somebody
I don't wanna think about you
I've got nothin' better to do
Why'd you have to go and meet someone new?
But you say
You think you're in love with me
You think this is destiny
I thought that this could last forever
And now
You've left with the best of me
I thought this would set me free
I wish that this could last forever
Can't stop thinking about what you did to me
Looking back now, I think you set me free
I don't wanna think about you
I've got nothin' better to do
Why'd you have to go and meet someone new?
But you said (But you said)
You think you're in love with me
You think this is destiny
I thought that this could last forever
And now
You've left with the best of me
I thought this would set me free
I wish that this could last forever
But you said
You think you're in love with me
You think this is destiny
I thought that this could last forever
And now
You've left with the best of me
I thought this would set me free
I wish that this could last forever
Can't stop thinking about what you did to me
Looking back now, I think you set me free
Can't stop thinking about what you did to me
Looking back now, I think you set me free
Can't stop thinking about what you did to me
Looking back now, I think you set me free
Can't stop thinking about what you did to me
Looking back now, I think you set me free
But you said (But you said)
You think you're in love with me
You think this is destiny

Holy shit dudes. What a cool track. And what an insane video! I was wondering why she's looking so held back and frustrated despite the carefree dancing. And then you see that body. And the look on her face at the end. This. Is. Art.
