Wish List

Mama's telling me to slow my roll

But we were young and dumb and so in love

I remember when I saw you first

Alley Katz December 21st

Your smile really had me feeling right

As Christmas lights reflected from your eyes

Hands laced together on Cary Street

The snow is soaking through the Vans on my feet

Despite it being 32 degrees

You light a fire in my bones

When I hear you speak

Last Christmas I gave you my heart

I played on a mixtape as we drove in your car

And this year the distance is clear

It turns out you're nothing special

Your beauty used to leave a glare

Like snowflakes falling in your hair

Our matching stockings no longer hung with care

The needles fall from the tree

St. Nick set me up to believe

If I stayed faithful to you

You would be everything I would need

Under the tree

So next year when you go downstairs

Don't expect me to be standing there

Last Christmas I gave you my heart

I played on a mixtape as we drove in your car

And this year the distance is clear

It turns out you're nothing special

You're dying to know if you ruined Christmas

Well put it on your wish list
