Getting rain instead of snow
A million miles away from home
Had my fair share of phone calls and facetime and what's apps
but now I'm on my own
And I finally figured out
I'm embarrassed it took so long
You really don't know what you've got until its gone
I miss the smell of the Christmas trees
The crackle of the fireplace
The wind that would knock down our yard decorations and freeze my tired face
Or the nights we just won't quit
At the kitchen table, sit
For hours and hours, we’d tell those same stories, and never grow tired of it
And its memory's almost warming as the real thing
I can almost hear your voice like you're beside me
Let's go down to Dooly’s we could stay all night
Get a slice from Greco, eat it under Christmas lights
Or we could stay inside complaining ‘bout the weather
Because there's nothing else to do in late December
When I go back now we I see my friends
For maybe an afternoon at best
And we'll sit in a basement or drink cans of Alpine in someone's parent’s shed
But the park is full of snow
So borrow your mom's car and let's go
We'll make like the old times and get up to no good, before we get too old
And I can barely feel the cold cause it's amazing
How you're still the same old person after all this time, well
Let's go down to Dooly’s we could stay all night
Or leave when Conner gets too drunk and tries to start a fight
We could shake in our boots waiting for a ride home
Cause it's almost 12am and everywhere closed
Christmas ain't the same when I'm without you
But I'm glad to hear your voice despite the distance
And I promise I'll be back to you in no time
Because all I want for Christmas is your warm light
