Back in an easier time
I would’ve seen the snow and cheered
But now I see the icy streets
And my winter blues appear
The daylight’s fading away
And even though it’s almost here
Christmas seems further away this year
I watch as all the local kids go sledding
They’re freezing cold, but they’re having so much fun
And That care-free bliss
Is something I’m forgetting
And I just don’t need another hill to climb up
Getting out of bed is already too tough
Back in an easier time
I would’ve seen the snow and cheered
But now I see the icy streets
And my winter blues appear
The daylight’s fading away
And even though it’s almost here
Christmas seems further away this year
More friends of mine will not be at my party
Some left this town and others just left me
I guess my other guests will have more room for parking
And I just don’t need another gift I don’t need
So maybe it’s good to have a smaller Christmas feast
But then I step outside
And notice all the pretty lights
And nothing else exists but this winter night
And everything is pure
And I feel so content
Til I remember that I’m a nervous wreck...and I say
Back in a previous life
I would’ve seen the snow and cheered
But now I see the icy streets
And my winter blues appear
The daylight’s fading away
And even though it’s almost here
Christmas seems further away this year

Verse 1
(I)
Wrote this on my own
(Cause I’m)
Looking for a home
(But I’m)
Just a rolling stone
So that will never be for me
(Yeah I)
Spit this off the dome
(Cause I’m)
Known for setting tones
(And It)
Tis the season for
your wish to come true
Chorus
What you gone do when Santa come
Stay present, don’t run
(Santas coming, who needs presents)
What you gone do when Santa come
Sleigh Bells mixed with the drum
What you gone do when Santa come
Moonlit then comes the Sun
(To be gifted, that’s a blessing)
What you gone do when Santa come
Better tell me sumthin’
What you gone do when Santa come
Stay present, don’t run
(Santas coming, so stop stressin’)
What you gone do when Santa come
Sleigh Bells mixed with the drum
What you gone do when Santa come
Moonlit then comes the Sun
(Happy birthday to the reverend)
What you gone do when Santa come
Better tell me sumthin’
Verse 2
(I)
Better go shopping
(Cause I)
Got a lot of Sin
(And in)
Order to repent
I must pay my restitution
(Yeah I)
Sacrifice my life
(For all)
That is in the light
(So in)
Middle of the night
You might get all that you wish for cause
Bridge
Yeah its that time of year again
Gather round young children
Gone tell you a little story
Superhero vs villian
Whats the meaning of Christmas
If you aint got you a wishlist
Holy spirit gone gift this
Man turn into mischief
Or do he turn into diety
I am him and he is me
Never been bout the thievery
More bout what lies up under trees
Blessed when I sneeze
So I pass the key
But when it gets cold you gone get coal
Now I’m back to the mastery cause
Chorus
What you gone do when Santa come
Stay present, don’t run
(Santas coming, who needs presents)
What you gone do when Santa come
Sleigh Bells mixed with the drum
What you gone do when Santa come
Moonlit then comes the Sun
(To be gifted, that’s a blessing)
What you gone do when Santa come
Better tell me sumthin’
What you gone do when Santa come
Stay present, don’t run
(Santas coming, so stop stressin’)
What you gone do when Santa come
Sleigh Bells mixed with the drum
What you gone do when Santa come
Moonlit then comes the Sun
(Happy birthday to the reverend)
What you gone do when Santa come
Better tell me sumthin’

Verse 1
Come one
Come all
I’ll meet you at the door with open arms
It’s warm inside
Cold out
The drinks are poured and we’re laughing out loud
Chorus
Our house is ringing in the holiday
If you want, you can come too
The time has come
Friends, they turn to family
Singing “All I Want is You”
Verse 2
Brandy slushes
Hold tight
Something buzzing in the air tonight
New horizon
New dawn
Can you feel the rush of moving on?

We’re driving
December
Maligning
The weather
The highway
In motion
The cliche
Emotions
What do you get for the girl who has it all?
Look at my life. Next to yours, it’s rather small.
By a year from now we will have gone our separate ways
Maybe for this Christmas it’s okay
