If I die on Christmas,
pull me out from the snow
String me up with lights
and throw me in a casket
Tell the others that I won't be coming back
Help them hold back tears so they don't freeze in the cold
If I die on Christmas,
bake a batch of cookies
Sing some Christmas carols
and run from door to door
So, if I die on Christmas,
please move onto New Year's
Throw yourself a party
and live like you might die
Ride a bike across the
country 'til you grow tired
Meet some other people
and sit beside a fire
'Cos no one knows for certain, at least, not you or I
So let's kiss in the snow and gain warmth from this light
because I think this feeling is electric

Out on Gibbs St. again
snow has fallen, it graces the road
and itâs early enough that I am all I know
A few months ago I gave away your clothes
I thought you needed them but I should have known
that I canât fix everything by holding onto time
Itâs not mine
but thatâs fine
Thatâs fine
Last year I couldnât listen to this album
but now every note seems new
and I feel like Iâm in the recording sessions
gaining my feelings back with each verse,
breaking my heart in reverse
I can hear Mariah singing âall I want for Christmas is youâ
and Iâm thinking about how love never dies
it just waits to renew
