“Christmas at 22” is an acoustic track originally off the No Sleep Records compilation No Sleep ‘Till Christmas.
Dan Campbell said in a since-deleted blog post promoting the song that it “is more or less about coming home for Winter Break”. In this blog post, the song is also named “Christmas at 22...
[Verse 1: Dan Campbell and Laura Borucki]
Winter break always seems so cold
I took my brother's keys and I drove
Turned the headlights on because it's already dark at 6 PM
I'll navigate familiar roads to the Christmas songs on the radio
I'll turn it off for "Let it Snow." I won't be snowed in
I'm visiting all the friends I haven't seen since August
To catch up on the things we missed while we were in college
[Pre-Chorus: Dan Campbell]
We'll find a house party when the bars close
And I'll drive all my drunken friends home
Proving once again that no one we've ever known
Has really changed that much since high school
[Chorus: Dan Campbell and Laura Borucki]
Let's turn on the TV and wait for Christmas specials
We'll make some frozen pizza and watch your stolen cable
We'll thank whoever's in charge here that this year
Didn't treat me so bad
[Verse 2: Dan Campbell]
The day the ground starts to get wet
Everyone that I've ever met has an away message that says
"Faintest snow keep falling."
New diners are packed out with old friends
We're overwhelmed but unimpressed
I miss the days when I knew every single waitress
[Pre-Chorus: Dan Campbell]
We'll find a house party when the bars close
We'll never spend the holidays alone
Proving once again that there's a reason my friends
Still tend to call this place home
[Chorus: Dan Campbell and Laura Borucki]
So let's turn on the TV and wait for Christmas specials
We'll make some frozen pizza and watch your stolen cable
We'll thank whoever's in charge here that this year
Didn't treat me so bad
