(Intro)
(Sleigh bells jingling, bright synth chords)
'Merry Christmas!'
(Verse 1)
The snow is falling down like glitter on the street
I’m wearing my hair loose because you said it was sweet.
My phone lights up, I see your name, I hold my breath
"Merry Christmas" scared me half to death.
You’re sending emojis of a snowman and a tree
But you aren't sending any part of you to me.
I’m at the party, sipping cider, faking smiles
While you’re sitting safe and sound across the miles.
(Pre-Chorus)
I got the gift wrap, I got the bow
I’m standing right here under the mistletoe.
But the air is cold, and the space is wide
‘Cause you kept the friendship, but you killed the pride.
(Don't you know, baby?)
(Chorus)
Santa, don't bring me toys this year
I just want the man with the voice I hear.
We talk every night, but we sleep alone
I’m tired of kissing you through the phone.
Last month I gave you my heart on a tray
You said "let's be friends" and you pushed it away.
But this Christmas, I’m making a desperate wish
That you’d wake up and realize what you miss.
(Yeah, what you miss)
(Verse 2)
You ask me how I am, you ask me what I got
I got a broken heart, but I like to talk a lot.
So I tell you ‘bout the sweater and the perfume too
Leaving out the part where I’m still crying over you.
It’s a silent night, but my mind is loud
Searching for your face inside the festive crowd.
You say you care, you say I’m "special" to you
Well, prove it, babe, come and make my holiday true.
(Pre-Chorus)
I got the cookies, I got the wine
I’m waiting for a signal, waiting for a sign.
But you play it safe, yeah, you play it cool
Leaving me freezing like a Christmas fool.
(Don't you know, babe?)
(Chorus)
Santa, don't bring me toys this year
I just want the man with the voice I hear.
We talk every night, but we sleep alone
I’m tired of kissing you through the phone.
Last month I gave you my heart on a tray
You said "let's be friends" and you pushed it away.
But this Christmas, I’m making a desperate wish
That you’d wake up and realize what you miss.
(Bridge)
(Music slows down, glockenspiel and strings)
Maybe next year, I’ll be over it
I won't care who you’re texting or who you’re with.
But tonight the lights are shining so bright
And I can’t help wishing you were holding me tight.
Just one night.
Just one miracle.
(Guitar/Synth Solo)
(Joyful melody with a sad undertone)
(Chorus)
Santa, don't bring me toys this year
I just want the man with the voice I hear!
We talk every night, but we sleep alone
I’m tired of kissing you through the phone!
Last month I gave you my heart on a tray
You said "let's be friends" and you pushed it away.
But this Christmas, I’m making a desperate wish
That you’d wake up and realize what you miss.
(Outro)
What you miss...
(Oh, oh, oh)
Mistletoe and screens.
That’s all we have.
Merry Christmas, babe.
(Sleigh bells fade out)
