Being Home

Another year comes to an end
A head full of thoughts, no more time to spend
I mostly sleep well, the family is fine
Just doing my job, hashtag, money is time
Breakfast at work, having dinner in the car
Appointment at the doctor's, two beers at the bar
Don't even know just what I feel
And suddenly time stands still

When the lights are shining
Take a break, calm down
Christmastime is freedom
And it's being home

When the lights are shining
Take a break, calm down
Christmastime is freedom
And it's being home
Oh, it's being home

Don't know where to park, the city is blocked
The kids are excited, my head feels locked
Letters to Santa, shopping Christmas stuff
Red wine for grandma, times are tough
Schedules tied but the days are coming
The best never rests, all waiting for something
Every time when Christmas comes, darkness slowly falls

When the lights are shining
Take a break, calm down
Christmastime is freedom
And it's being home

When the lights are shining
Take a break, calm down
Christmastime is freedom
And it's being home

The radio's playing "Driving home for Christmas"
And suddenly you're a child again
And you start to realize that Christmas is where
Where it all began

When the lights are shining
Take a break, calm down
Christmastime is freedom (Christmastime is freedom)
And it's being home

When the lights are shining
Take a break, calm down (just take a break, calm down)
Gather all your loved ones (gather all your loved ones)
You're not alone (no, you're not alone)

When the lights are shining (the lights are shining)
Take a break, calm down
Christmastime is freedom
And it's being home (yeah, it's being home)

When the lights are shining (when the lights are shining)
Take a break, calm down
Gather all your loved ones
You're not alone
This is being home
