Dan + Shay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When it's gettin' cold outside
And your bags are packed
I don't wanna say goodbye
When I see the trees light up
When they hang the mistletoe
And I'm by the fire
I don't wanna be alone
Baby, won't you take me home for Christmas
Show me 'round your town
Take me where you used to watch the snow come down
All of your traditions
I wanna know 'em all
You'll check every box off of my list
If you take me home for Christmas
(Take me home) yeah
Take me home
Take me home
I wanna spend the night before
Drinkin' with your high school friends
'Round the neighborhood
We can do a little caroling
Watchin' Santa fly
'Cross a Christmas moon
Don't need gifts this year
If I got you
Baby, won't you take me home for Christmas
Show me 'round your town
Take me where you used to watch the snow come down
All of your traditions
I wanna know 'em all
You'll check every box off of my list
If you take me home for Christmas
Wanna be by your side
When you open your eyes
And say, "Baby, it's Christmas"
Yes, I do
Ooh
Baby, won't you take me home for Christmas
Show me 'round your town
Take me where you used to watch the snow come down (snow come down)
All of your traditions (la-la-la-la-la)
I wanna know 'em all (every single one of 'em)
You'll check every box off of my list
If you take me home for Christmas (home for Christmas)
(Take me home) oh, yeah, babe
(Take me home) take me home
(Take me home) hey
Dum-da, dum-da, dum-da, dum-da
(Take me home) dum-da, dum-da, dum-da, dum-da

Yeah, you know it, baby

(Take me home) oh
(Take me home)
Oh, won't you take me home for Christmas?

Baby, when December comes
As the last month of the year approaches
When it's gettin' cold outside
As the weather outside starts to become chilly
And your bags are packed
When you're ready to leave for the holidays
I don't wanna say goodbye
I don't want to be apart from you
When I see the trees light up
When the trees get decorated with lights
When they hang the mistletoe
When the mistletoe is put up for people to hang out under
And I'm by the fire
When I'm sitting by the fireplace
I don't wanna be alone
I don't want to be by myself
Baby, won't you take me home for Christmas
Can we go to your hometown for the holidays?
Show me 'round your town
Can you give me a tour of where you grew up?
Take me where you used to watch the snow come down
Can you take me to the spot where you used to admire the snowfall?
All of your traditions
I want to learn about all the customs unique to your family
I wanna know 'em all
I'm interested in all the details of your upbringing during this period
You'll check every box off of my list
This will fulfill all of my holiday wishes and desires
If you take me home for Christmas
If you take me to spend Christmas with you where you grew up
Wanna be by your side
I want to be next to you at all times
When you open your eyes
When you wake up in the morning
And say, "Baby, it's Christmas"
And acknowledge that it's Christmas day
Yes, I do
I want that moment with you
I wanna spend the night before
I want to spend the night before Christmas with you
Drinkin' with your high school friends
Drinking with your old friends from high school
'Round the neighborhood
Walking around the neighborhood
We can do a little caroling
We can sing Christmas carols to spread some cheer
Watchin' Santa fly
Watching the Santa Claus parade or seeing Santa's sleigh in the sky
'Cross a Christmas moon
Looking up at the full moon on Christmas night
Don't need gifts this year
I don't need physical presents to be happy with you
If I got you
As long as I have you with me
Dum-da, dum-da, dum-da, dum-da
Instrumental interlude
Yeah, you know it, baby
You understand what I'm saying, my love
Oh, won't you take me home for Christmas?
I'm hoping you'll take me to your hometown for Christmas
