Annual Trick
There's nothing like Midwest Christmas
It's a fairytale hard to believe
Gretel's stockings strung wide
'Cross the mantle at night
Find an apple inside
To our parent's delight
Walking out from my childhood bedroom
Matching PJs and camcorder smiles
I saw your father cry
12am candlelight
Silent night, holy night, all is calm
Rings aloud in my ears
I wish you'd stay for a while
I wish you'd try
Wide awake with anticipation
Who am I kidding
Don't sleep less I take medication
The snow loses stick
The annual trick
From the heavens above
To the earth below
I wish you'd stay for a while
I wish you'd stay for a while
I wish you'd try
Maybe i should give up on Christmas
Could i ever trust this time of year
Though company's kind
The tale's old as time
We arrive just to leave and go home again
To all be alone
It's a fairytale hard to believe
Gretel's stockings strung wide
'Cross the mantle at night
Find an apple inside
To our parent's delight
Walking out from my childhood bedroom
Matching PJs and camcorder smiles
I saw your father cry
12am candlelight
Silent night, holy night, all is calm
Rings aloud in my ears
I wish you'd stay for a while
I wish you'd try
Wide awake with anticipation
Who am I kidding
Don't sleep less I take medication
The snow loses stick
The annual trick
From the heavens above
To the earth below
I wish you'd stay for a while
I wish you'd stay for a while
I wish you'd try
Maybe i should give up on Christmas
Could i ever trust this time of year
Though company's kind
The tale's old as time
We arrive just to leave and go home again
To all be alone
