Midlife Christmas

[Verse 1]
The Christmas wreath is on the doorway and the garland's on the wall
Baby Jesus in the manger, Santa's cookies down the hall
But the hollow in my chest don't feel like Christmastime at all
Welcome to my midlife Christmas

[Verse 2]
The Grinch and Max out on the lawn, inflated proud and tall
And the relatives come knocking with a postcard on the wall
But it feels like these traditions were just built to fail and fall
Welcome to my midlife Christmas

[Chorus]
Let it snow, let it snow, man
Letting go of past defenses I've been holding, holding

[Verse 3]
Unavoidable and tragic like Christmas Muzak at thе mall
I keep looking for the magic, but these feelings don't rеsolve
And the grey skies overhead are disillusioned and appalled
Welcome to my midlife Christmas

[Chorus]
Let it snow, let it snow, man
Letting go of past defenses I've been holding, holding

[Verse 4]
The moonlight's fighting headlights, I'm still trying to drive it home
Feeling older but not wiser, feeling lonely but not alone
And the puzzle piece that's missing, is it innocence outgrown?
Welcome to my midlife Christmas
