[Intro]
Empty halfpipe, December nights
Frost on metal, Christmas lights
Just me and Connor against the world
Two lost souls in this concrete swirl
[Verse 1]
Kickflips under streetlights, freezing fingers numb
Council estate princess, yeah, that's what I've become
They don't get us Connor, but that's okay with me
Got more love in this halfpipe than they'll ever see
Middle fingers to the system, we don't need their praise
Skating through depression on these winter days
[Chorus]
Empty halfpipe, that's our sanctuary
While they're singing carols, we're just trying to breathe
Empty halfpipe, that's where we belong
Two misfits writing our own f*cking song
December demons can't touch us here
When we're flying high, everything's crystal clear
[Verse 2]
Cheap wine in my backpack, sharing midnight dreams
You show me new tricks while I'm coming apart at the seams
Trust built on concrete, no words needed now
Silent understanding of the why and how
Estate kids with scraped knees and broken homes
Found our peace in places others wouldn't roam
[Bridge]
They say we're wasting time, but they don't understand
Every scratch and bruise is part of what we planned
This halfpipe holds more truth than their fancy halls
Rather be right here than answer their fake calls
[Chorus]
Empty halfpipe, that's our sanctuary
While they're singing carols, we're just trying to breathe
Empty halfpipe, that's where we belong
Two misfits writing our own f*cking song
December demons can't touch us here
When we're flying high, everything's crystal clear
[Outro]
Just me and Connor against the cold
Two lost kids with hearts of gold
Empty halfpipe, December nights
This is where we make everything alright
