Rob thomas, jay stanley, brian yale and john goff      I reach within my isolation, I harbor it, I honor it   You say you'd like to see me closer, of course you would, you have no choice      And I cry cause the weather has gotten to me   And I laugh at the people that I can't be all their lives silly pictures      Chorus:   Hey now now now, hey now hey baby   Baby's getting older, baby's getting older   Hey now now now, hey now hey baby   The tide is turning, turning us away      You build the wall I'll build the fountain, we'll wrestle it, we'll conquer it   I think we'll live to see the mountain, of course we will we have no choice      And I cry cause the weather has gotten to me   And I laugh at the people that I can't be all their lives silly pictures      Repeat chorus      (one version)   And I can remember forever december   The center of dying, the heart of the pain   The rose in the bottle, the thorns in the bottom   The stars surround me, the cold astounds me      And I cry cause the weather has gotten to me   And I laugh at the people that I can't be all their lives pretty pictures      (another version)      And it won't take long, we both knew this   Well I wasn't quite prepared   For my center of dying, the heart of your pain   All my words get lost and I can't speak   Got my head stripped down, well I get weak   And the words fall out like forever december   But soon it won't matter 'cause she won't mean nothin'            Repeat chorus x3
