The Christmas Song
Owl City Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Its Christmas and we walk alone,
To strangers with noone to miss us,
On our own,
Out in the cold,

Trudging onward,
Braving a harsh winter storm,
You and I met passing by,
And now our spirits feel warm,
I don't have anyone at home,
To talk to,
And you don't have anything to do,
So I'll spend my Christmas with you,

I'll spend my Christmas,

It's Christmas,
And we are in love,
With the way that the soft snowflakes kiss us,
From far above,
The blustery breeze,

Trudging onward,
Braving a harsh winter storm,
You and I met passing by and now our spirits feel warm,

I believe,
That Jesus is truly the only way,
And I celebrate,
Christmas because it's his birthday,

I don't have anyone at home to talk to,
And you don't have anything to do,
So I'll spend my Christmas with you,

I'll spend my Christmas with you,




I'll spend my Christmas with you,
I'll spend my Christmas with you.

Overall Meaning

The Owl City's song, "The Christmas Song," is a tender ballad illustrating two strangers walking alone on a snowy Christmas day. The two lonely people meet, and they decide to spend the holiday together, and the song gradually turns into a love story. The lyrics weaves together themes of winter storms, loneliness, and love, combining them into a heartwarming Christmas tale of two strangers brought together on a cold winter day.


The song's second verse stands out and states, "I believe that Jesus is truly the only way, and I celebrate, Christmas because it's his birthday." Here, Adam Young, the songwriter and lead singer, reinforces the religious significance of Christmas, which is often lost in more mainstream Christmas music. The song promotes the union of those who are deprived of love and healing in their lives, especially during winter's chilly bleakness at Christmas.

Owl City has an amazing sound and this song makes perfect sense. The word Christmas means Christ's Mass. This song fits perfectly. The words seem to have the ability to be interpreted any way you wish to. The ways that he includes Jesus is the most spectacular thing. People seem to think that Christmas is all about presents, but its not. Its about being with eachother and that's the way i feel this song is meant to be heard. God Bless Us, Every One. Thank you for posting this lovely song.
