Only In December
Gypsy & The Cat Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I had a crystal ball
I could see the end
Would you come back to the start?
And do it all again

I’m gonna be your friend
I could never tell
Here it comes again

Only in December
Will I remember you?
Only in December
I think about you too

I feel the tide is washing you
Must be up to June
Synchronize my shocks of moon
If nothing left to bruise

I’m gonna be your friend
I could never tell
Here it comes again

Only in December
Will I remember you?
Only in December
I think about you too

December…
December…

Only in December
Will I remember you?
Only in December
Do you think about me too?

Only in December
Will I remember you?
Only in December
Do you think about me too?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Gypsy & The Cat's song "Only In December" reflect a sense of nostalgia and longing. The first verse expresses a desire to know the future and whether the person being addressed would repeat their past actions. The chorus, which mentions only remembering and thinking about the person in December, suggests that this is a time of reflection and memories of a past relationship. The second verse uses metaphorical language to describe the feeling of being separated from this person - the tide washing them away - with a sense of resignation that there is nothing left to hurt. The repetition of the lines "Here it comes again" and "Only in December" throughout the song emphasizes the cyclical nature of memory and the sense that this feeling of longing for the past will return again and again.

Overall, the song seems to express a bittersweet feeling of fondness for a past relationship while acknowledging that it is gone and nothing can bring it back. The lyrics evoke a sense of time passing and the realization that some experiences and people are only truly appreciated in retrospect, when they are inevitably gone.

If I had a crystal ball
If I could predict the future

I could see the end
I could see how our relationship will end

Would you come back to the start?
Would you want to start our relationship again?

And do it all again
And repeat everything we did before

I’m gonna be your friend
I want to be your friend

I could never tell
I could never express my true feelings for you

Here it comes again
I am reminded of my feelings for you again

Only in December
My thoughts of you are triggered only in December

Will I remember you?
Do I only remember you during December?

I think about you too
December makes me think about you too

I feel the tide is washing you
I feel like you are drifting away from me
