the way the light is hitting you
drowns out the sounds of your nephew
the folks i'll never see again
tonight i'll play and i'll pretend
but how that light is hitting you
the clock read dec 23
when we gave up christmas eve's eve
some shoes, a straw so stupid set the scene
and outside they're singing
fa la la la la la la
it's finally christmas
and it's the holidays and i've
given myself to the mess
and maybe this christmas
this still filtered romance will end
this christmas time
we picked at the seams
betrayed those two strangers
that gave everything
we spilled on the front porch
the neighbors ignored us
hope we're quiet soon
next christmas time
holidays between
we'll pick up the pieces
we'll find new routines
while friends mark one more year
we'll try out a new ear
with nothing to lose
(interlude)
christmas eve's eve
the snow framing you
i stopped for a last look
the memory comes through
i stepped off the front porch
the neighbors ignored us
we'll be quiet soon
