about

Week 49 - Here's Your Christmas Song
I'm writing, recording, and releasing a song a week for a year. I hope it finds you somewhere along the way :)

lyrics

We should have caught that flight
Traded time spent with loved ones for convenience
It made sense in our heads, it’s been regret ever since
We say little to each other, I spend the whole day in bed
The phone calls I thought would pour in never poured in
Isolation in the lone star state, all self inflicted
My brain knows it’s far too late to start driving but my heart, oh my heart…

I can’t see that which isn’t right in front of me
A lack of foresight prescribed a heavy dose of blues
But I feel all the pain on these
I feel all the pain
The group at the club was the island of misfit toys
(Frozen for hours)
And a train with square wheels can’t take me home
A boat that can’t float can’t take me home
(Frozen for hours)
A plane that can’t fly can’t take me home

The booze behind the glass looked so enticing
But I opted for ice cream- it’s healthier
Two cheap cigars- still healthier

I can’t see that which isn’t right in front of me
The holiday spirit is gone
So here’s your fucking Christmas song
I hate myself for what I’ve done
My mother, my niece and my nephew
Miss me terribly
And selfishly I chose to stay back for the sake of convenience
But in the pit of my stomach I know this virus won’t let me come home

Frozen for hours
We should have caught that flight
Isolation in the lone star state
Self inflicted, for convenience
I can’t see that which isn’t right in front of me
