[Intro – Both]
Mmm…
December water…
We met too soon, we felt too much…
[Verse 1 – Romeo]
26th of December, heat still on my skin
Saw you drippin’ in that pool, girl, you pulled me right back in
Heart still bruised from a love I couldn’t save
Then you turned, looked at me… and I forgot how to behave
I waved like I was fearless, but my hands shook inside
Tried to play it cool, but you made me lose my disguise
Then you smiled… and everything froze
One second with you felt better than the years she stole
[Verse 2 – Clara]
I felt your eyes on me, like you saw straight through
And I hated for a moment, I almost wanted you
I laughed at your jokes, but my heart skipped a beat
Even though I had a man, you made my world feel complete
I wanted to stay, wanted to tell you the truth
But loyalty held me back, and I walked away from you
[Pre-Chorus – Both]
Romeo:
I slipped my number in your hand, soft and slow
“Call me if you need someone… or just don’t know…”
Clara:
I saw the digits, my heart almost said yes
But fear and the life I had… kept me from confessing
Both:
And we stood there silent, in the December sun
Two hearts beating fast… but afraid to run
[Chorus – Both]
Romeo:
You left without a word…
Not even a look back, girl, that hurt
Clara:
I walked away silent, my heart torn in two
Didn’t mean to break you…
But I couldn’t stay with you
Both:
Oh, December water
We drowned in love we never meant to steal
I lost you before I even had the chance to feel
[Verse 3 – Romeo]
Girl, I watched you go, like smoke in the air
Tried to hide my pain, but I stood there
Number in your hand, left in the sun
And I knew our story… was barely begun
[Verse 4 – Clara]
Every step away felt wrong inside
I wanted one last smile, but I couldn’t decide
Your number burned my palm, a door I feared to open
I left you there, silent, my heart broken
[Bridge – Both]
Romeo:
Maybe in another life…
You’d be mine and I’d get it right
Clara:
Maybe then I wouldn’t run…
Maybe I’d stay…
Both:
But timing broke us
And left love unfinished
December water…
Still pulls me under
[Final Chorus – Both]
Romeo:
Yeah, you had a man…
But your eyes said what your lips never could
Clara:
I left without a word…
But I felt every moment with you
Both:
In that December water
We drowned in love we never meant to steal
Two hearts met… but fate made us kneel
And even now… you’re the home I almost held
[Outro – Both, soft & fading]
Mmm…
December water…
We met too soon, we felt too much…
And I’m still drowning… baby…
