Dallon said about this song after it was released on his xmas jambz Ep “Sometimes a child’s Christmas wish is so pure and true that the heavens open. And the very fabric of our reality is rent in twain.
Other times you get a sweater from your aunt. You tell her you like it, but you don’t really like...
[Verse 1: Dallon Weekes:]
Lights are shining, and
I feel dead
The sickly sweet holidays keep
Me in bed
[Chorus 1: Dallon Weekes:]
But when I'm awake
Crying every day
I wish that you were here
Cause Christmas comes this time each year
[Verse 2: Michael Gross:]
Wrap you up and send you
To myself
Don't want anythin' from
Anyone else
[Chorus 2: Michael Gross]
I'm sitting in my room
Thinking of you
I can't wait 'til you get here
Cause Christmas comes this time each year
[Piano solo]
[Spoken Interlude]
Merry Christmas guys
Merry Christmas to you
Happy Hanukkah man
Thanks
No problem
Hope it’s a good one!
[Verse 3: Dallon Weekes]
I'm feeling better since you
Returned my calls, and
String up some Christmas lights let's
Deck these halls, then
I've one more thing to say
Don't ever go away
Oh I'm so glad you're here
Cause Christmas comes this time each year
[Outro]
Yeah
Oh oh, oh woah
