🌕🌔🌓🌒🌑

It seems so important now
But you will get over
And when you get over
And when you get older
Then you will remember
Why it was so important then

It seems like a big deal now
But you will get over
Seems like a big deal now
But you will get over
And when you get over
And when you get older
Then you will discover
That it's never over

I want one ticket out of your heavy gaze
I want one ticket off of your carousel

But you should know that I died slow
Running through the halls of your haunted home
And the toughest part is that we both know
What happened to you
Why you're out on your own
Merry Christmas, please don't call

December of '04, we got a Yuletide show
The miracle of manna, an inch of snow
It didn't melt all day
We used a trashcan for a sleigh
And we still talk about it

Here at decades older, I am less impressed
Seems the blessing only comes with bitterness
Bi-annually, at least, the pipes and asphalt will freeze
And we'll still talk about it

If I wish for anything this year
It would be a bigger house
With walls spaced far enough apart
To keep my loved ones out the dark
When the power grid goes out

'Cause I keep you in my heart
Yeah, I keep you even when we are apart
And I'd keep you out of the dark
If I only could

All that you believe in can survive this one
A fairy only keeps her wings if you cheer them on
Well, it's hard to find a star
In all this godforsaken dark
So I'll believe in you

Sure, the days are colder and the nights are long
But don't you worry, I don't think the magic's gone
We could light a fire
We could lift our voices higher
We can believe in you

If I wish for anything this year
It would be a crystal ball
Or the winning numbers on the wall
Wouldn't want a dime or dollar
Only power to change anything at all

'Cause I keep you in my heart
I keep you even when we are apart
I'd keep you out of the dark
If I only could

Yeah, I keep you in my heart
I keep you even when we're worlds apart
I will keep you out of the dark
