It's Christmas So We'll Stop - Frightened Rabbit

It's Christmas so we'll stop

It's on with the lights to warm the dark

It can cloak elsewhere

As the rot stops for today

Let the rot stop just for one day

Only good red eyes, red suits, and faces will radiate

And the cold will hide its face

Now the cold has turned away

We can be best friends with the people we hate

'Cause we've all got blood

And it's warmer than you'd think

Yeah it is warm and it is thick

We all breathe out clouds

And are built to give at least once each year

And that's better than never I guess

And life might never get better than this

It's the perfect excuse for our natures to change

And wear shiny clothes

Oh it's Christmas so press pause on the remote

Oh it's Christmas so we'll stop

'Cause the wine on our breath puts the love in our tongues

So forget the names

I called you on Christmas Eve

In fact forget the entire year

Don't reflect just pretend and you won't feel scared

You won't feel a thing

'Cause it's all been tucked away

And once you're tucked in bed

You'll hold on to the day for the last few seconds

Your cradled face is protected from the wind

And I'll protect you I promise I will

And the rest of our lives will be just like Christmas

With fewer toys

You're a good girl and I'm a good boy

Or so I thought

Oh it's Christmas so we stopped

Were it not for the tick of the clock

And the spin of the Earth in space

We could always be this way

And as we sleep at the fall of the day

In the room next door the tree lights brighten the rodent's eye

Catches a glimpse of the dust beginning to rise

The next day life went back to its bad self

The next day life went back to its bad self

The next day life went back to its bad self

The next day life went back to its bad self
