It's OK to Be Alone (This Christmas) [feat. Benjamin Amos]

It's OK to be alone
This Christmas
Just you and your smartphone
This Christmas
It's just a day like any other
You can call your sister or your brother

There's nothing wrong
With a nut roast for one
If you've got temptations
I've recipe recommendations
The Drifters did some
Good seasonal songs
I kept my Gran's record
Entirely accidently
Google your own
Favourite cracker jokes
Fashion a crown from
The empty
Apple strudel box
You took some knocks
And you always strolled back
Maybe not stronger
Or wiser either

It's OK to be alone
This Christmas
Turn the radiators up
This Christmas
If you're facing any awkward questions
Say you're having problems with your connections

You could read a book
Or just close your eyes
Listen to the silence
Hear the spiders creeping on the carpet
Probably best to hold off the drink until five
Use the day to be productive
Draw or paint or read or write something
Or don't
It's fine
We can't be who we dream all the time
I know myself
I let me down
Repeating 5K week three
Interminably

I keep a sledge under my bed
From October until May
Although I've tipped over forty
I dream nightly of snow days
The batteries are running out
On my singing Christmas tree
It slows and slurs like a film demon
From 1983

I'm still a vegetarian on a budget
The consultant threw away my crutches
I walked out with only one shoe on
Bought hot chestnuts that burnt my tongue

It's OK to be alone
This Christmas
To wind up on your own
This Christmas
I'm not saying that it will be easy
The novelty may wear off pretty quickly

It's okay to be alone
This Christmas
It's okay to be alone
This Christmas
It's okay to be alone
This Christmas
It's okay to be alone
This Christmas
It's okay to be alone
It's okay to be alone
It's okay to be alone
