More Love Than Myth (Tell the Children)

Maybe we should tell the children Santa's make-believe
And it's always been you and me
It's always been you and me
Explain that we would never let a stranger of the night break in
To leave us things while we dream
And it's always been you and me

Teach them to believe in magic times
Not to wait for magic to arrive

No one's out there keeping tabs on if they're good or bad
When you're a child and you are free
There's really no such thing
Show them we should match a love
We give not things that we get
But it'll all be future trash
And we want but never need
And we'll all soon forget
And we'll pile on tomorrow's mess

What a mess?
What a mess?

(Truth has more love)
(More love than myth)

Teach them to believe in magic times
Not to wait for magic to arrive

Years from now
When we're sitting here with an empty Christmas tree
And time's played it's dirty tricks
And it's only you and me
You'll miss this mess
This stressful test for that magic in their eye
Well, maybe one more year
It wouldn't hurt a thing

Hmm, hmm
Hmm
Just for you and me
