The Christmas tree is fake
I hear the dogs outside
There's a fog softly hanging on the snow
I must be close to eight
Been awake since close to five
Now I smell the coffee brewing on the stove
Every holiday leaves me blue but that's okay
It's the melancholy carols that make me happy anyway
Beneath a plastic tree
Ornaments and tinsel string
We spent hours fighting over the yo-yo
Tucked in your stocking
Even though you're miles away
And years have passed there's time to say
Merry Christmas to you
I'm thinking of you too
The Christmas tree is fake
Grandma says that hers is too
Allergies seem to be a family affair
But now it's getting late
The sun is setting soon
And I watch my breath crystallize the air
Every holiday leaves me blue but that's okay
It's the melancholy carols that make me happy anyway
Beneath a plastic tree
Ornaments and tinsel string
We spent hours fighting over the yo-yo
Tucked in your stocking
Even though you're miles away
And years have passed there's time to say
Merry Christmas to you
I'm thinking of you too
Every holiday leaves me blue but that's okay
It's the melancholy carols that make me happy anyway
Beneath a plastic tree
Ornaments and tinsel string
We spent hours fighting over the yo-yo
Tucked in your stocking
Even though you're miles away
And years have passed there's time to say
Merry Christmas to you
I'm thinking of you too
