last night was holy
(whole lotta whiskey)
no one celebrates
the birth of christ like me
at least I don’t think so
but I was so gone...
stole that baby
from a manger on your front lawn
please - forgive me
can you believe
the things we tell ourselves
on christmas eve?
if you ask me -
I didn't mean it
("so help me, jesus")
last night was christmas eve
everyone knows I’ve got a sweet spot for you
that I cannot bear to let out
so I cover it in clothes and I drink
and I stole that baby from your house
on christmas eve
I don’t use
your name and you don’t use mine
you write me: letters
that I’m not supposed to find
I took the bus there
(we were going nowhere)
it didn’t feel like we were
going nowhere at the time
and - forgive me - but can you believe
the song I wrote for you last christmas eve?
if you ask me, I never mean it
(so don’t you believe it)
last night was christmas eve
everyone knows I’ve got
a sweet spot for you
that I cannot bear
to let out
so i cover
it in clothes
pour myself
into a hole
where I wait
to bottom out
and I stole
I stole
that baby
from your house
on Christmas Eve
oh, you forgive and you forget
you budge and you bend
and I forgave and
you forgot
again
(and again and again)
I was crying in my car
swearing
that it would end
while you were watching
from the bar
swearing
that we were friends
and we forgave
and we forgot
we budged
and we bent
by that time
the holidays
had come
and then
they went
you came here
and I went there
we always make amends and then
it is christmas eve again
it is christmas eve
