Holly Through His Heart

The ice on the street looks like glass
The snow fell so fast
Reflections of ghosts from your past
Were a blur inside the flurries in the sky
Unsurety was high
Sincerity's a curious disguise

And no, I won't pretend I acted right
'Cause I don't know the protocol
You watch somebody pass from life
And pray there's still a hope for all
The sinners like me
Please, this Christmas Eve

I still see those headlights in snow
The entire drive home
Kept my eyes closed and pretended
I know you're in a better place now
High above the ground
I hope it's December wherever you are

The bulbs inside the candles burn slow
A luminescent glow
A eulogy that you regret you wrote
Is casting shadows from the past that still exist
They're askin' for a fix
A flash of your compassion made me sick

And no, I won't pretend I acted right
'Cause I don't know the protocol
You watch somebody pass from life
And pray there's still a hope for all
The sinners like me
Please, this Christmas Eve

I still see those headlights in snow
The entire drive home
Kept my eyes closed and remembered
I know this was your favorite time of year
Drink away your fears
I hope it's December wherever you are

I still see those headlights in snow
The entire drive home
Kept my eyes closed and pretended
I know you're in a better place now
Deep below the ground
I hope it's December wherever you are

Addiction won't lessen these scars
Conviction, but never true heart
This distance was never too far
I wish you could get a new start
I hope it's December wherever you
Ever you are (I swear your ghost calls out)

When the snow falls down
I swear your ghost calls out
When the snow falls down

I swear your ghost calls out
When the snow falls down
I swear your ghost calls out
When the snow falls down...
