Christmas
Jason Anderson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You were December
The best Christmas ever
Such glorious, glorious evenings

A skeleton tree
We huddled beneath
What warmth just crouching beside you
Eight hundred false starts
Oh trembling heart
I swoon, I melt, I focus

Now from afar
I sing to the stars
Let the universe blink and assure you





Put your ear the sky and listen, my darling
Everything whispers "I love you."
