Christmas
Committed NOTA & Pentatonix Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The snow's coming down
I'm watching it fall
Watching the people around
Baby please come home

The church bells in town
They're ringing a song
What a happy sound
Baby please come home

They're singing deck the halls
But it's not like Christmas at all
I remember when you were here
All the fun we had last year

Pretty lights on the tree
I'm watching them shine
You should be here with me
Baby please come home
Baby please come home

They're singing deck the halls
But it's not like christmas at all
I remember when you were here
All the fun we had last year

If there was a way
I'd hold back these tears
But it's Christmas day
Baby please come home




Baby please come home
Baby please come home

Can you just imagine how different the world AND our lives would be if they didn't win the sing-off?? i can't...

I bet they would still be where they are today, because they could post covers and get recognized pretty quickly, they are THAT talented. Just a thought tho.

Kalli Pratt you're right... even thinking about it makes me feel depressed... right now id be lying in bed, staring into space wondering why isnt there anyone who can make my life the best.

Kalli Pratt I don't think that would change so much...ptx won, but they got droped from their record deal, right? My guess, is that, even they didn't win, they would still fight as they did and they would still go as far as they went...

I can't imagine my life without being blessed by the amazing, ridiculously perfect A Capella group that is Pentatonix. I was obsessed from the get-go and will continue to be a devout Pentaholic for life! They've inspired me to try and start a group of my own someday! :D

2:41 - 2:43 all the lead singers just smiling but thinking "I am totally better than those guys" and then 2:44 Kirstie pops up just smiling innocently. XD

Kirstie is just like "Heeeey that was fun I'm happy to be here!"

I was gonna scroll down after watching to see what time you'd written that to be so I could rewind and watch it, but I didn't even need to because it was so obvious. Her smile is melting the snow.
