lyrics

Out the window lies the icy roadways
It’s Christmas Day I have to work at six
At least the presents under the tree will be a welcome gaze
I can’t wait to find out what Santa picked

I haven’t even crawled out from the covers.
This warmth won’t be abandoned for another.
I glance across the pillow at my lover.
Oh wait. That’s right.

Merry Christmas you’re alone and you deserve it
You’ll watch the New Year’s eve clock on your own.
Write down the resolutions you’ll abandon in three weeks
Enjoy being a one man cicerone
Everyone looks happy on your phone

I used to buy her flowers in the springtime
She’d tuck her favorite back behind her ear
Memories and cringe inducing photos set the pace
For Holliday themed self pity and cheer

Have you ever shopped the shelves at kmart
Pretending you’re not buying for yourself
You spot someone you think could be your soulmate
Oh wait. That’s right

Merry Christmas you’re alone and you deserve it
You’ll watch the New Year’s eve clock all on your own.
Write down the resolutions you’ll abandon in three weeks
Pass your workday like a kidney stone
Everyone looks happy on your phone

Merry Christmas you’re alone and you deserve it
You’ll watch the year end countdown on your own.
I’d offer help if I could get this tongue out of my cheek
But this defense is all I’ve ever known
Everyone looks happy on your phone
