You may tire of me as our December sun is setting 'Cause I'm not who I used to be No longer easy on the eyes But these wrinkles masterfully disguise the youthful boy below Who turned your way and saw something he was not looking for Both a beginning and an end But now he lives inside someone he does not recognize When he catches his reflection on accident On the back of a motorbike with your arms outstretched Trying to take flight, leaving everything behind But even at our swiftest speed We couldn't break from the concrete In the city where we still reside And I have learned that even landlocked lovers yearn For the sea like navy men 'Cause now we say goodnight from our own separate sides Like brothers on a hotel bed Like brothers on a hotel bed Like brothers on a hotel bed Like brothers on a hotel bed You may tire of me as our December sun is setting 'Cause I'm not who I used to be

Strange to think I loved this song when I was 15 and had no idea what it was about but it was comforting. I'm almost 30 now and I finally understand the lyrics. This makes me so nostalgic but it's still so beautiful.

I was 21 and i was getting into a relationship that lasted 14 yrs , i understood completely at the time what it meant. Though you imagine you would never be in that position. It's a beautiful song it always was i introduced my ex-wife to it when we met , its so damn deep.

This is too goddamned heartbreaking, too goddamned beautiful ... Ben's lyrics at their best. No one's captured the sense of slow disintegration of a once-earnest relationship quite like he has, across so many songs. Knowing how much this man has probably hurt breaks my heart, but thank god he was able to turn all of those experiences into the beautiful songs we get to take in, enjoy, appreciate ... Fucking poetry set to sound. Ugh I've had too many to drink and I'm gushing don't mind me

And it's not just the disintegration of a relationship, but the fading of feeling over time, and the process of aging, and how all these things are inextricably linked. Even the sentiment of "brother's on a hotel bed" is quite nuanced: there's still some form of relationship there, maybe even some form of affection on some level, even if the romance has died. A lot of the song holds bittersweet sentiments like this, such as "who turned your way and saw, something he was not looking for, both a beginning and an end." It's rather a great companion piece to "I Will Follow You Into the Dark," as both songs tackle similar material but from appreciably different angles.
