lyrics

Please say the heater works 'cause it's Christmas.
Depart the featureless expression, be bored and half-dead
With the songs they sing, so it's fine to be wrapped in people you don't admire.

I wouldn't bet on your holidays being sane.
Can you shove me under the mistletoe today?

Make room for tense moments. Give up your wanting of me.
We're safe inside where it's warm and loved.
And when you have enough, I'll carry what's left of whatever you left with.

I covet that shelter. We'll talk about this when the seasons change, where the places fade.

I shouldn't pray that your holidays aren't great.
I hope that you pull me under the mistletoe today.

Are you laughing yet? Are you even sure that you're there?
I've been talking and talking and I'm not quite sure you hear,
Everything that I am saying, 'cause it bothers me so
And if there's no one around I just can't tell you that I would be fixed.

There, I've said it. I'm kind of lost entirely.
It's never coming at me like I'm that precious and why does love have to keep on teasing me.

I just can't say that this year has been the best there's been and anyway, how the hell should I know? Aren't we still kids?
Someone tell her to kiss me under the mistletoe over and over again, for once.
