Swimming In December

My secrets are hidden behind me

Waist-deep in breaking sorrow

We were never meant to be

Your heart was only mine to borrow

Stay in the shallows where we can walk

Just glancing at the deep end

Water in our mouths so we can't talk

I'm guessing when I call you "friend"

The cold is like the one you'll keep

Make this a moment to remember

Getting out of the pool takes a leap

We're swimming in December
