lyrics

If you’re not alone for one day it’s Christmas
(There’s someone out there just like you
With nothing better to do)

He crosses the street
He stares at the scenes playing out on front lawns
But he can’t understand what they all mean
He walks to the window
Could be any house on any street, since decorating in July
Still he wonders why
So what do they do inside
Do they hold each other close,
What do they do if they’re bored and alone?
Who needs mistletoe if you just love yourself?
Maybe they feel proud
Strewn out across their couch,
Maybe they tie off using Christmas lights so cops on duty could at least get a show,

You know?

She waits through the week
Lights every candle snuck
Through the gap in the floor
The only thing it’s good for, thank god they’ll never hear
Her parents counted eggnog shots and daiquiris to fall asleep
She makes it through the first read until
Until her sister starts to scream
Wake the whole house, why don’t you please?
But then her parents check the room
Finding out their kid believes in something new is spelling sacrilege
18 christmases passed, not a dollar spent but they just kicked her out of her house,
The first and best gift was getting out, yeah would you look at her now?

They meet up
Find a spot
Order in Chinese, figure out what it means to be left out in the dark
To be sure
Having more
Fuck it have as much fun as you can, if you’re just gonna be ignored
