When the morning falls on the linoleum
And the steam heat rushes in
Little hisses feel like kisses
Blowing in my ear
And when evening comes
And with that come the ghosts of Christmas past
I put holly on the mantle
Rough and sentimental
Wondrin’ how to make this last
So wrap me in your arms
Like a Christmas present
I’ll tuck you inside of my sleeve
I never liked this season, but I love those lights we hang
And the good things we choose to believe
It ain’t easy
Gettin’ all dressed up
Sortin’ through ribbons and bows
When you wonder, how did we mess up?
Gotta look for the one thing that glows
Wrap me in your arms
Like a Christmas present
I’ll tuck you inside of my sleeve
I never liked this season, but I love those lights we hang
And the good things we choose to believe
