It's times like this I wish my family drank. We all stare blankly at the TV screen. My aunt turns slyly to me and asks if I have a boyfriend. I tell the truth, no, not yet. 'Cause I can't bring you home for Christmas Can't put your presents under the tree Instead, they'll be tucked away in a closet, Just like my family wants me to be. I've still gotta hide you from my momma, Even though we're tryin' to be more honest. She told me once before that I'd kill my grandfather, So I've still gotta try, keep my secret. Oh, I can't bring you home for Christmas. Can't put your presents under the tree Instead, they'll be tucked away in a closet, Just like my family wants me to be. Instead, they'll be tucked away in a closet, Just like my family wants me to be.

I'm coming home for Christmas and all its cheer. Been trying not to think about how much I've missed this year. Maggie's in the ninth grade and the band has taken off Sometimes I wonder why I ever left the ones I love. Had to go grow up, had to find myself It's been just four months. Sometimes I feel like someone else. The desert doesn't have a way to fill the spaces That I dug into my heart the last time that I saw your faces. But I can hear the sleigh bells. The lights tell me only one thing. I am growing up but I'll never grow away. I'll still be the last one to wake up on Christmas morning and come down the stairs to see the presents piled up against the fireplace. I'll still be the best friend who pays for the gas to get to The movies when we need to forget the time and find some space Remember when we had those deadlines for our songs Afternoons in the back room and then the long drive home. I always used to think of how I didn't want to leave. And now it isn't so bad here but you better believe That I haven't been to Wendy's since the last time that we went. There's something sacred in the value of the little cash we spent. Now I only hope the holidays don't fly by as fast As the summer right before or the year before last. But I can hear the sleigh bells. The lights tell me only one thing. I am growing up but I'll never grow away. I'll still be the last one to wake up on Christmas morning and come down the stairs to see the presents piled up against the fireplace. I'll still be the best friend who pays for the cash to get to The movies when we need to forget the time and find some space I'm coming home for Christmas and all it's cheer.

It's the same every year I work until I can't feel my fingers from the cold This shit is really getting old You're pinning all your hopes on a 'last fairytale' But I'm just hoping I can get home before it starts to snow There's no chance of joy to all tonight In the name of corporate suicide Don't tell me to smile when I want to die Drink on down your Christmas spirit It's the same every year We promise it's the last That you'll ever find us working here And feeling second class again But I know that I'll always be back tomorrow

this year I've been doing my best “I have it together” impression with cheap beer and a mouthful of cigarettes it’s hard to be convincing I’m convinced winter thought she could hold the reigns, but snow fall just never stays it’s like I've been cursed for Christmas I've been fucking scrooged if you think I’m overreacting, i think you are too
