[Verse 1]
Thought we’d be matching flannel, fireplace crackling
Cookies in the oven, but my heart’s unraveling
December nights colder, ain't no hand to hold
Streaming movies solo, this distance getting old
Texting through the static, emojis don’t hug back
Faded mistletoe dreams, no train on the track
Used to be hot cocoa, now it’s lukewarm sighs
Every snowflake falling, just tears from the skies
[Chorus]
I wanted that Christmas love, matching PJ kinda snug
Baking cookies with my baby, sipping cider from the mug
But you’re miles away, all I got’s a screen to hug
This ain’t the Christmas we dreamed of
[Verse 2]
Used to share eggnog, now it’s buffering calls
Silent nights lonely, staring at these four walls
Your laugh on delay, connection running thin
Reindeer on my sweater, but I’m missing my twin
Stockings look empty, though they hanging full
Every ornament reminds me, love’s beautiful
But it’s trapped in a timezone, ticking out of sync
This year I’m the Grinch, ‘cause my heart’s on the brink
[Chorus]
I wanted that Christmas love, matching PJ kinda snug
Baking cookies with my baby, sipping cider from the mug
But you’re miles away, all I got’s a screen to hug
This ain’t the Christmas we dreamed of
