Christmas Day In the Sun

December

dozens of punches

give up those car keys

and walk to the new year

ignore these michievous motives

my balance and focus

get blurry when you're here

I want my Chirstmas day in the sun

all I want this year is California

it's not too much to ask for

Christmas day in the sun

I need a better way to spend the new year

as long as you're around-

Raindrops are painted on rooftops

locals, they don't stop

I know where it's headed

I'm not cut out for these parties

I know where my heart is

I try and forget it

their faces always blurred away

when we were young

I heard you say

it's yours to lose

it's yours to lose

don't say I'll wait

you don't have to remember

I'm out of excuses

I hear the echos of us

in the station

they're pointing and laughing

reminding me
