I still remember the third of December, me in your sweater
You said it looked better on me than it did you

"It's fucking freezing in here,"  New York growls, not looking up from the stove.

"Here, take this." Florida smiles, draping his jacket over New York's shoulders.

New York flushes, "I couldn't, it'll get warmer soon-"

"Keep it! It looks good on you," his blush deepens at how Florida is beaming at him.

Only if you knew how much I liked you
But I watch your eyes as she
Walks by

It wouldn't matter now, Florida had fallen for DC. 

What a sight for sore eyes
Brighter than the blue sky
She's got you mesmerised while I die

He can see why, DC with his bright eyes and kind smile, it's much more than New York would ever be able to offer.

Why would you ever kiss me?

He still wished that maybe, he said something earlier.

I'm not even half as pretty
You gave her your sweater, it's just polyester

He sees DC wearing Florida's jacket one day, his world seems to crumble at the realization that he's really lost his shot. 

But you like her better

DC's watching with wide wonder-filled eyes as Florida walks back over, huge smile on his face, and places a crown on DC's head. 

Wish I were Heather

Florida's got a flower crown on, pressumably from DC, and slightly flushed cheeks as he says something that makes DC blush and hide his face in his hands. 

Watch as she stands with her, holding your hand
Put your arm 'round her shoulder, now I'm getting colder

New York can't tear his eyes away as Florida leans over to kiss DC on the cheek, wishing it were him. 

But how could I hate her, she's such an angel
But then again, kinda wish she were dead as she

He knows it's stupid and that they both deserve happiness, but his mind is already going over every way in which DC is better than him. 

Walks by
What a sight for sore eyes

DC shows up more, occasionally coming out of Florida's room and other times walking out of lessons with Florida.

Brighter than the blue sky
She's got you mesmerised while I die

New York misses the nights when Florida would "sneak in" to take food, he always made late nights easier to handle.

Why would you ever kiss me?
I'm not even half as pretty

DC's everything he wishes he could be, kind and full of hope, it's no wonder Florida fell for him instead.

You gave her your sweater, it's just polyester

He returns the jacket, ignoring Florida when he comes in asking about it.

But you like her better

He refused to get in the way of their relationship, if Florida was happy, so was he.

I wish I were Heather

He ignores the hurt on Florida's face as he turns away, telling him he didn't need the jacket anymore. 

Oh, I wish I were Heather
Oh, oh, wish I were Heather

It was better for both of them.

Why would you ever kiss me?
I'm not even half as pretty

DC was better for him. DC could listen to him, trust him, wasn't as clingy,  wasn't New York. 

You gave her your sweater, it's just polyester
But you like her better
Wish I were
