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

Ah, 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 suit's
And faces will radiate
And the cold will hide it's 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
We're built to give at least once each year
And that's better than never I guess

And life might never get better than this
With the perfect excuse for
Our natures to change and wear shiny clothes
Ah, it's Christmas
So press pause on the remote

Ah, 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 hug onto 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
As a tree light brightens a rodent's eye
Catches a glimpse of the
Dust beginning to rise

The next day life went back to it's bad self
The next day life went back to it's bad self
The next day life went back to it's bad self
The next day life went back to it's bad self
