The Gift
Such a lovely Christmas morning
And what is this under my tree
A shiny box looking so pretty
I've just got to take a peek
The little tag says "Do not open"
But those words will soon be broken
Like a trap set by a trojan
It's chaos that I've woken
Inside this gift
My every wish
Wasn't careful
What I asked for
Coming true all of my whims
And it ain't the way I want to live
I miss the way things had been and
The little things that made me grin
All of the best gifts are free
Don't need nothing special just you and me
We've got reason to believe cuz
That's what Christmas really means.
At first it was a pleasant feeling
Until I felt my mind start spinning
I thought these things would make me happy
But I don't need the extra candy
All around wish they could be me
But the world can be deceiving
The rush I felt was only fleeting
Already had all that I needed
Inside this gift
My every wish
Wasn't careful
What I asked for
Coming true all of my whims
And it ain't the way I want to live
I miss the way things had been and
The little things that made me grin
All of the best gifts are free
Don't need nothing special just you and me
We've got reason to believe cuz
That's what Christmas really means.
And what is this under my tree
A shiny box looking so pretty
I've just got to take a peek
The little tag says "Do not open"
But those words will soon be broken
Like a trap set by a trojan
It's chaos that I've woken
Inside this gift
My every wish
Wasn't careful
What I asked for
Coming true all of my whims
And it ain't the way I want to live
I miss the way things had been and
The little things that made me grin
All of the best gifts are free
Don't need nothing special just you and me
We've got reason to believe cuz
That's what Christmas really means.
At first it was a pleasant feeling
Until I felt my mind start spinning
I thought these things would make me happy
But I don't need the extra candy
All around wish they could be me
But the world can be deceiving
The rush I felt was only fleeting
Already had all that I needed
Inside this gift
My every wish
Wasn't careful
What I asked for
Coming true all of my whims
And it ain't the way I want to live
I miss the way things had been and
The little things that made me grin
All of the best gifts are free
Don't need nothing special just you and me
We've got reason to believe cuz
That's what Christmas really means.
