Unwritten Law Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Remember when, I was ten,
Lookin forward to Christmas again,
Everything, I enjoy,
Like the family Christmas tree and the toys,
And I?d wake up early morning
While mom and dad still snored in bed,
So I crept, down the steps,
[Chorus]
I could not wait for Christmas day,
Wait for Christmas day now
[Unwritten Law]
Don't want to wait, gettin late,
March up stairs to give my parents a shake,
Get out of bed, sleepy heads,
Christmas doesn't start till you are awake,
As we gather around the tree
I open everything they gave to me,
So I stay, end up late,
Why can't it be Christmas everyday now
[Chorus]
I could not wait for Christmas day,
Wait for Christmas day now,
But I, but I, will have to wait for Christmas,
I will hafta wait for Christmas,
I will always wait for Christmas day
[Sum 41]
Now wake up Christmas morning, guess what I saw,
It's Unwritten Law and Sum 41 rock it raw,
With the message for kids sayin they should be nice
Not naughty 'cause, Santa knows karate, he's on the cross Vader,
Hip hop hoorayder , got wade on the beats,
Like AC Slater, if you good like Wally,
Or bad like the Beev, only Santa know the score
Come Christmas eve
[Chorus]
But I, but I will have to wait for Christmas,
I will have to wait for Christmas,
I will always wait for Christmas
Day now yeah, I could not wait for Christmas day.

Reflecting on the past, specifically a memory from when I was ten years old
Lookin forward to Christmas again,
Excitedly anticipating the arrival of Christmas once more
Everything, I enjoy,
During Christmas, there were many things that brought me joy and happiness
Like the family Christmas tree and the toys,
Some of the things that brought me joy during Christmas were the family Christmas tree and the toys I received as gifts
And Id wake up early morning
On Christmas morning, I would wake up very early
While mom and dad still snored in bed,
While my parents were still sleeping, unaware of my excitement
So I crept, down the steps,
I carefully walked down the stairs to see what Santa had left for me
Couldn't wait to see what Santa had left now
I was so eager to see what Santa had put under the tree for me to open
Don't want to wait, gettin late,
I do not want to wait any longer, because time is running out
March up stairs to give my parents a shake,
I go upstairs and shake my parents awake, so they can start celebrating Christmas with me
Get out of bed, sleepy heads,
I tell my parents to get out of bed and stop being lazy
Christmas doesn't start till you are awake,
I believe Christmas cannot begin until everyone is awake to celebrate it together
As we gather around the tree,
We come together as a family around the Christmas tree
I open everything they gave to me,
I excitedly open all the gifts that were given to me
So I stay, end up late,
I stay up late because I do not want Christmas to end
Why can't it be Christmas everyday now

On a Christmas morning in the present day, I woke up and saw something new

Hip hop hoorayder, got wade on the beats,
The music being played is fun and upbeat, and Wade is great at creating beats for it

If you misbehave like the Beav from Leave it to Beaver, only Santa knows what will happen to you on Christmas
Come Christmas eve
Referring to the upcoming evening before Christmas day
But I, but I will have to wait for Christmas,
Even though I am impatient, I understand that I will have to wait for Christmas to arrive
I will always wait for Christmas day now yeah,
No matter how long I have to wait, I will always look forward to Christmas day
I could not wait for Christmas day.
Once again, expressing my excitement and anticipation for Christmas day
