A Christmas Like No Other

Snow on the windshield

Coffee gone cold in my hand

Got stuck at the airport

This wasn't part of the plan

Cheap plastic reindeer

Blinking above gate twenty-two

Christmas on a hard seat

Till I got talking to you

This is a Christmas like no other

Strangers turning into lovers

Paper cups raised like crystal wine

Laughing at the checkout line

Doesn't really matter where we are together

You make the layover feel like forever

This is a Christmas like no other

Next to you

I'm home

FaceTime the family

Pass you the phone

Say "hey"

Mom says she likes you

Dad asks if we’ll drive down someday

You draw a small snowman

On my boarding pass with your pen

Plane finally boarding

We kinda hope it’s delayed again

It wasn’t the porch light

Or some perfect movie scene

Just a crowded terminal seat

And you sliding in next to me

If this is how plans fall apart

I’ll take broken plans every time

Wrapped up in your arms

Under fluorescent lights
