(Intro)
(Bright synthesizer riff, the beat drops—bouncy and infectious)
(Verse 1)
There’s a tree in the corner, lights on the wall
I’m staring at the clock, waiting for the call.
You promised you would ring me before you go to sleep
To keep the little promise that you swore you’d keep.
You ask about my dinner, you ask about the snow
But you never ask the question that I want to know.
("Do you miss me? Do you want me back?")
No, we stick to the script, yeah, we stay on track.
(Pre-Chorus)
Everyone is singing about joy and about love
I’m looking at the ceiling and the stars above.
You say that we’re better off just being friends
But tell me why this heartache never seems to end?
(I’m freezing, babe, don’t you know?)
(Chorus)
Babe, you make this the coldest time of year
I’m wrapped in red, but you are nowhere near.
I gave you my heart, you gave it back so fast
Said we were a fire that wasn't built to last.
Now I’m drinking cocoa, staring at the phone
Wishing you would come and take me from this zone.
I don't need a present, I don't need the gear
I just need you to warm up the coldest time of year.
(Yeah, the coldest time of year)
(Verse 2)
I remember thinking that you were the one
Before the winter came and blocked out the sun.
Now we text daily like it’s normal routine
But I’m seeing ghosts on this LED screen.
You send a little "Santa" and a "smiley face"
I want to drive over to your place.
Break down the door and kiss you on the lips
And save this relationship before it slips.
(Pre-Chorus)
Everyone is singing about peace on the earth
I’m wondering what your promises were worth.
You act like nothing happened, like we’re cool
But I’m standing here feeling like a Yuletide fool.
(I’m freezing, babe, don’t you know?)
(Chorus)
Babe, you make this the coldest time of year
I’m wrapped in red, but you are nowhere near.
I gave you my heart, you gave it back so fast
Said we were a fire that wasn't built to last.
Now I’m drinking cocoa, staring at the phone
Wishing you would come and take me from this zone.
I don't need a present, I don't need the gear
I just need you to warm up the coldest time of year.
(Bridge)
(Music strips back to just a bass line and snaps)
Tell me, babe, do you think of me?
When you see the angel on the top of the tree?
Or am I just a contact in your list?
The girl you liked, but never really missed?
(Beat builds up with a drum roll)
I don't want to be just a friend!
(Saxophone/Synth Solo)
(Energetic, nostalgic, and catchy)
(Chorus)
Babe, you make this the coldest time of year
I’m wrapped in red, but you are nowhere near!
I gave you my heart, you gave it back so fast
Said we were a fire that wasn't built to last!
Now I’m drinking cocoa, staring at the phone
Wishing you would come and take me from this zone.
I don't need a present, I don't need the gear
I just need you to warm up the coldest time of year.
(Outro)
Warm me up, babe.
It’s so cold out here.
Just you and me and the screen.
Merry Christmas...
(Fade out with bells)
