[Verse 1]
Ugly sweater
Ash on the sleeve
Stockings hang crooked
We still believe
Candles drip wax on the coffee table
Laughter off-key
But we feel stable
[Pre-Chorus]
Tree lights flicker on your glass
We pass it slow
We pass it fast
Nose tip red
But not from cold
We’re growing up
Not getting old
[Chorus]
We get high by the firelight
Blowing clouds in the Christmas night
Doing all the things grown hearts desire
Lit like the star on the tree
Getting higher
We get high by the firelight
Turn it up till the room feels right
If this is wrong
I don’t wanna be right
Just you
This buzz
And the burning white
[Verse 2]
Cookies half-baked
So are we
Mistletoe swinging off the flat-screen TV
Grandma’s voicemail
Haven’t hit “play”
Hit this instead
Drift far away
[Pre-Chorus]
Snow outside
Inside we roast
We raise a toast
Then ghost the toast
Silent night? Not in this room
We cough and choke
Then we resume
[Chorus]
[guitar solo]
[Bridge]
Jingle bells shake in my chest (in my chest)
Your head on my shoulder
We’re a mess (we’re a mess)
Tinsel stuck to your tangled hair
I swear there’s heaven in this air
[Chorus]
