Lyrics for Forget December as interpreted by NextTheSky

Forget December Lyrics
on christmas morning
outside was pouring
all was hopeless in this home
and no one speaking
no one creeping
to see if she was on the phone
and you were quiet
this routine riot
was all but practical to me
and if we see here
why can't we be here
can we let each other be?

forget december
it won't be better
than i remember it before
and this month only
would be so lonely
and not so holy anymore

and new year's eve came
but nothing had changed
all the problems just got worse
we sat in silence
the routine science
could hear the sickness we rehearsed
and if i'm talking
my words are mocking
the deaf ears they have fallen on
these words are tainted
with years so jaded
in a sense that's all but gone

forget december
it won't be better
than i remember it before
and this month only
would be so lonely
and not so holy anymore

anymore...

forget december
it won't be better
than i remember it before
and this month only
would be so lonely
and not so holy anymore

forget december
it won't be better
than i remember it before
our silent night won't feel quite right
it's not so silent anymore

anymore...

on christmas morning
outside was pouring
all was hopeless in this home

i think the lyrics are a bit wrong

i am pretty sure it is "we sat in silence, this routine science" and "it was all but practical to me"

maybe im wrong?

but nehow, how i think this song is about going home for the holidays and the family is really not on good terms and they are always fighting, especially during christmas time when there is so much stress.

What a crappy December he had.... from the lyrics of the song, this guy's December not only involved a breakup with a girl, but also a family that was at odds. To top it off, it was rainy and it just got worse as it progressed! This guy had it rough... I feel sorry for him.

Hmm... come to think of it, this guy and I have too much in common... December 2002. I really was trying to forget December. Aww....

Something corporate has been my favortie band for about 3 years now and I like the way the vocals change in song, Lyrics are damm near perfect but that is nothing new, Andrew is great singer song writer and to me it's there best upbeat song they have. I hope SOCO keeps this up for as long as possible.

This song helped me through my Sucky Christmas. My parents told me of my mum having an affair on christmas day. This song means so much to me because the lyrics are so cleaverly written that it's almost my december in something corporate words. It showed me that I'm not alone and that these things happen and you have to basically "forget december".

Great song. The verses and bridges are awesome, but the chorus kinda turns me off.

Apparently Josh wrote this song about how Christmas is in his family. I think he's kind of angry at them or mocking them because they try to come together and be a loving family, when he knows deep inside that they're just going to go back to their old ways once the day's over. Or I am just ghey and like to make Josh's family out to be psychos *shrug*.

The guy's December obviously blew the big one. I can relate considering that I wanted to kill myself last December.....December sucks. But besides that, I think this song is a good example of how overrated the holidays are.

This song's got a really deep meaning for me - this time last year, my ex and I got back together after a very rocky relationship Feb-April. I remember the moment last October (03), when I thought everything might just work out with her and me, when I walked in on her and her new boyfriend. She kept denying she was with him, and turning all my friends against me in the process, but I was stupid and believed the lies, for another 2-3 months, til December... when I found out the truth. Right now I *really* want to forget December.

Josh wrote the song, but it wasn't autobiographical. From what I understand, it made for some interesting conversation at the dinner table around the holidays though.

I never saw the correlation of a failed relationship for the child, so much as his parents' relationship was crashing all around him and he's chronicling it through the holiday season. Or maybe that's just because that's how it happened for me.

i can relate to the song because this xmas my parents were going thru there divorce (as they still are) and my aunt went into a rehab place because she's an alcoholic, my uncle is probly gonna go to jail bc he's a psyco, and my grandma has to put up with him. all this went thru in december, and last year i pretty much just wanted to die, so this song really kinda helped me get thru to realize that xmas kinda sucks for everyone since everyone is so freakin stressed out. Soco kicks ass!

AWESOME song.... AWESOME band..
I think the lyrics are a bit wrong, though..
i'm pretty sure it's " we sat in silience. the routine science.." and "was all but practical to me.." and homely, not holy...
I LOVE ANDREW SO MUCH!! SOCO ROCKS!

this song obviously touches those of us who have had a sucky time during the holidays.. but i also think that the december could symbolize cold winters and the feeling they bring of bitter lonliness when everything is supposed to be cheerful.

i love this song and for me forget december doesnt mean anything bad... it just means that perfection doesnt exist because in december you can screw up things and somehow theyll always be better because of the holidays...

hey ForgetDecember do you even know what homely means? Homely means ugly. And he's saying it's ugly, not pretty. So he would say "it's not so homely anymore." He's saying holy because the month of december involves christmas (which he's talking about), and it's a silent, HOLY night.
