Lyrics
Chorus
remember that december night
city lights reflecting in your eyes
we were just strangers in the crowd
now look at us, three years have passed us by
but the memory
it still burns bright
like those streetlights
on that winter night
yeah that memory
it still burns bright
Verse 1
never thought much about destiny
until you walked across that crowded room to me
spilled drink on my jacket, apologized sweetly
that clumsy moment changed my life completely
now we're
sharing rent and morning coffee
what started out as strangers, look what we've become
no elaborate proposal, no diamond rings
just whispered promises and simple things
they told me love ain't easy, gotta work through the pain
but with you by my side, even struggle feels like gain
we built our little fortress against the city rain
in this concrete jungle, we're the beautiful strange
Chorus
remember that december night
city lights reflecting in your eyes
we were just strangers in the crowd
now look at us, three years have passed us by
but the memory
it still burns bright
like those streetlights
on that winter night
yeah that memory
it still burns bright
Verse 2
friday nights we dance in the kitchen
cheap wine and takeout, our perfect tradition
fighting over movies, making up by midnight
holding you close when the world ain't right
i love how you
sing off-key to every song
how you wear my shirts but claim they were yours all along
how you call your mother every sunday afternoon
how you steal the covers, wake up by noon
they say nothing's forever, everything fades in time
but some connections run deeper than the deepest mine
so when you ask me baby where i wanna be
i just point to you and say right here is fine with me
Chorus
remember that december night
city lights reflecting in your eyes
we were just strangers in the crowd
now look at us, three years have passed us by
but the memory
it still burns bright
like those streetlights
on that winter night
yeah that memory
it still burns bright
Bridge
and sometimes i wonder
where we'll be at thirty-five
different apartment, different city skyline?
maybe a house with a yard, maybe kids running wild
but wherever we land, whatever comes our way
i know that we'll face it the same way we always do
together, no matter the weather, it's me and you
no perfect love story, just perfectly imperfect us
building something real from midnight dust
Chorus
remember that december night
city lights reflecting in your eyes
we were just strangers in the crowd
now look at us, three years have passed us by
but the memory
it still burns bright
like those streetlights
on that winter night
yeah that memory
it still burns bright
it still burns bright
