Spending Christmas Alone (feat. Bon)

Well, we're heading for that Christmas time of year
Macca's Monopoly is done, and the monster trucks appeared
So I enquired at the shopping mall
About a Telstra plan with international calls
And though the pricing is fair, I'd prefer if you were here

Well, we're getting close to Christmas time again
A new job, a new hemisphere, a temporary friend
I searched the street view on Google Maps
To see the Christmas decorations lighting up your flat
And I wanna see you again, but I don't know when

For the twelve days of Christmas, I'll call you everyday
With my phone in hand, I'll hang on to every word you say
So bring it all back
Well, I'm not coming home
I'm spending Christmas alone

My East Vill apartment window's glazed with flakes of snow
My Maker's Mark ran out of eggnog several drinks ago
I've got my dreams and I've got nothing to lose
I've got my couch and Michael Caine as Ebaneezer Scrooge
And apropos of the mistletoe, I'll be standing all alone

For the twelve days of Christmas, I'll call you everyday
With my phone in hand, I'll hang on to every word you say
So bring it all back
Well, I'm not coming home
I'm spending Christmas alone

And I just don't know what you expect of me
Catch the first plane home and take a raincheck for your dreams
City park at night where the carollers sing
Rainsford Place lights, and binge drinking
You'll have to find another hand for your bon-bon's plastic ring

Well, we're heading for that Christmas time of year
I wish I missed you, but I wouldn't want to sound so insincere

For the twelve days of Christmas, you ignored me everyday
My MessageBank just loved to listen to the things you say
Can you just call me back?
I'm not getting the phone

Cause it's Christmas Day, and our only company
Are some Compact Discs of Michael Bublé and Mariah Carey
So bring it all back
Well I'm not coming back
Just pick up the phone
Leave me alone
Just bring it all back
Well, I'm never coming home
I'm spending Christmas alone
