lyrics

The sound of sleigh bells
On the radio makes me roll my eyes
The smell of gingerbread
Still makes me smile, well that’s no surprise

Come all ye faithful, well I’m not
But I’ve had all my latest shots
And I’ve been building up a lot
Of residual stress

I bought the kit, I took the test,
It’s still approximate at best
But close enough to be your guest
Is all right, I guess

Another green Christmas
When I was a child I remember a lot more snow
Another green Christmas
Is it me or a change in the air, I don’t quite know

I hope you like these gifts
They’re all secondhand, I know you don’t care
I’d rather give my cash
To a stranger than to a billionaire

Well, if you’re up for it I might
Go drive around and look at lights
I’m going to claim the couch tonight
With a book and a cat

I’m not so certain I’m okay
And what does that mean anyway?
But I can set aside a day
Not to think of that

Another green Christmas
When I was a child I remember a lot more snow
Another green Christmas
Is it me or a change in the air, I don’t quite know

Each day I’m learning
Reasons why there’s no returning
To the way it was before
No point in yearning for it anymore

I’ve got no platitudes
And I don’t think my attitude
Is the uplifting kind
I’ll borrow yours if you don’t mind

I’ve been around the world
And I’ve had my Christmas in summertime
I walked the cliffs alone
And looked out to sea, and the day was mine

Well that was what I needed then
I don’t know when I’ll go again
But if I do, I’ll bring a friend
Maybe not, guess we’ll see

I know I’ll make it on my own
I still don’t want to be alone
So for today, I’m glad I’m home
Come and sit with me

Another green Christmas
When I was a child I remember a lot more snow
Another green Christmas
Is it me or a change in the air, I don’t quite know
