here i am standing in your favorite store
and everyone looks like you
slowly breathe, slowly look around once more
the bittersweet deja vu
i’m trying not to think about last december
but being here can’t help but remember
thought that i had cried every tear that i had left
every small reminder comes washing over
and though i’m wiser, though i’m older
you keep coming back to me like you never left
like you never left
step outside, hoping to clear my mind
but your ghost hangs here too
these old streets remain frozen in time
i forget that i’m new, forget that i’ve moved on from you
i’m trying not to think about last december
but being here can’t help but remember
thought that i had cried every tear that i had left
every small reminder comes washing over
and though i’m wiser, though i’m older
you keep coming back to me like you never left
like you never
now i’m calling my friends to laugh about
how you hurt me
maybe if i keep talking i’ll believe
that it’s funny
i just want to make brand new memories
in the spots you used to be
so i can come back and not feel this weight on me
i’m trying not to think about last december
but being here can’t help but remember
thought that i had cried every tear that i had left
everywhere i go i hear “it’s not over”
and though i’m wiser, though i’m older
you keep coming back to me like you never left
like you never left

Christmas Movies

i’ve checked off every cliche on the list
put up some mistletoe and waited for a kiss
walked through the frozen streets of my hometown
to see if anybody might be waiting around
to get snowed in in a cabin with me
we could stay till january
i don’t care just where we go
as long as i’m not all alone
i’ve watched too many christmas movies
that must be how my heart got here
i wait by the window, watching the new snow fall
maybe this will be the year
he’ll make me rethink my idea of love
he’ll let me know that i am much more than enough
then he’ll get down on one knee
though i’ve only known him for a day, or two, or three
i’ve watched too many christmas movies
that must be how my heart got here
i wait by the window, watching the new snow fall
maybe this will be the year
so maybe life’s not like a movie
but every day it gets more clear
i wait by the window, but i’m not alone at all
got all the love i need right here
yeah all the love i need’s right here

Christmas Saves The Year

Snow falls down from the gray sky
Ashes fall in the sea
Plans are thrown to the wayside
Frozen days of the week
But everybody wants to make it home this year
Even if the world is crumblin’ down
‘Cause everybody’s got somebody who’s got their name on a shelf
With cheap decor and flavored cheer
You rest assured that Christmas saves the year
Dust off old photo boxes
This one’s marked ’92, yeah
Years past seemed so much grander
This one needs to come through
‘Cause everybody wants to make it home this year
Even if the world is crumblin’ down
‘Cause everybody’s got somebody who’s got their name on a shelf
With cheap decor and flavored cheer
You rest assured that Christmas saves the year
Everybody wants to make it home this year
Even if the world is crumblin’ down
‘Cause everybody’s got somebody who’s got their name on a shelf
With cheap decor and flavored cheer
You rest assured
Everybody wants to make it home this year
Even if the world is crumblin’ down
‘Cause everybody’s got somebody who’s got their name on a shelf
With cheap decor and flavored cheer
You rest assured, Christmas saves the year
