lyrics

Well it’s December, it’s not even cold
I wake in a sweat, just counting on when I go home
And I bought a candle, it smells like the pines
But aside from the stands in the city,
There’s none here for miles

My god, it’s been the longest year
Just trying not to disappear
And I don’t know how, but I’m hoping
Christmas will work it out

Nostalgia’s my weakness, my easiest sell
But that movie we watch all season, it just hasn’t held up
I’m sentimental and resentful
Wish I’d just suck it up and turn cynical
But I keep the string lights on and a lookout for miracles

My god, it’s been the longest year
Just trying not to disappear
And I don’t know how, but I’m hoping
Christmas will work it out

And sat at the table, laid pretty,
It feels somehow wrong to complain
So I smile and drink my glass empty
I don’t want to have to explain
I just don’t want to have to explain

My god, it’s been the longest year
Sometimes I wish I wasn’t here
And I don’t know how, but I’m hoping
I'm hoping

My god, it’s been the longest year
Just trying not to disappear
And I don’t know how, but I’m hoping
Christmas will work it out
Christmas will work it out
Christmas will work it out
