lyrics

Lyrics:

I spent some money on a friend
I watched Love Actually again
I put a tree up in the den
Wrapped colored lights from end to end

I drank some spiked nog to pretend
I can stand people I can't stand
Still nothing's having an effect
I wrote a Christmas song again


No I can't forget failed attempts
And all the love that didn't land
Rooted genetics, circumstance
That best intentions couldn't crack

I can't forget about those steps
A voice that changes with a match
A life that i can't understand
The sight of that hospital bed

(Chorus)
Oh I heard you say
We’ll get through this year

You said just stick around
And we’ll get there


Outside it's getting dark my friends
With no agenda to offend
It's hard to see it different
Than one foot forward two steps back

One final thought that I can lend
there's still an open road ahead
whatever happens in the end
we're stuck together here my friends

(Chorus)
Oh I heard you say
We’ll get through this year

You said just stick it out
And we’ll get there


it's been awhile since we spoke
it's by design that we'll go
off by a mile or a globe
so out of touch and unaware

but i need you all to just know
that through the static of home
this is a link we can hold
when that bridge we had it isn't there

<Oh I Know I Know
We’ll get through this year>

cos there's a moment you know
we're going out of style
you're waking new alone
it's all in where you go from there

<Said just stick around
And we’ll get there>

so when you're back on the wall
can't recognize your own world
just sing along and you'll know
you're not alone in this i swear
