lyrics

When I wake up on Christmas day
Who will be beside me? I’ve shared a bed with my self-doubt
For so long you might not fit between us
Please leave us

Hear the snowfall turn to rain
Cascading down your window
All that’s pure gets washed away
In deafening crescendos
Trapped inside a childhood home
Tradition gets unnerving
So let’s pour another drink
And keep the fires burning inside us
It must be thus: Keep what we trust
Right beside us

I don’t know just who to be
To make the right impression
A hundred thousand versions of me
For each trial and lesson
Put a face on for my friends
Another for my family
A third one yet for you my love
Or else you’ll see inside me
I shed my skin when I’m alone
And cover up my mirrors
If I knew who I’d become
I’d probably cut the tether
Like the ribbon
That I’m wrapping
Up my future
For you darling
Will you have me
Though you can’t see me? You can trust me
To be what you want me to be
