Lyrics & Translation

[English]

The best thing I ever did

December, as we end the year together, I remember

Our memories pile up like the snow

So many words I saved for you linger in my mind

Makes me nervous

Used to feel lonely and empty

But December is no longer lonely

The best thing I ever did

Was that I met you

The best thing I never did

Was that I never broke up with you, and that I am still with you

All I wanna do All I wanna do

Just like this, like this, like this, like this, the two of us forever

All I wanna do All I wanna do

Just like this, like this, like this, like this, let us never change

Though I don’t notice, it just keeps showing

My friends are teasing that I’m smiling from ear to ear the whole day

Even when I’m alone, I feel as if

You are behind me, my ears keep getting red

I can’t help it, I keep thinking of you

Used to feel lonely and empty

But December is no longer lonely

The best thing I ever did

Was that I met you

The best thing I never did

Was that I never broke up with you, and that I am still with you

As the year goes by, Little by little

So many things have happened

But when I think about what they meant

Why are they the moments I spent with you

I think I might be in love

The best thing I ever did

Was that I met you

The best thing I never did

Was that I never broke up with you, and that I am still with you

All I wanna do All I wanna do

Just like this, like this, like this, like this, the two of us forever

All I wanna do All I wanna do

Just like this, like this, like this, like this, let us never change

The best thing I ever did

The best thing I ever did
