Switchfoot - Midlife Christmas lyrics
[Switchfoot - Midlife Christmas lyrics]
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
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
Let it snow, let it snow, man
Letting go of past defenses
I've been holding, holding
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
Let it snow, let it snow, man
Letting go of past defenses
I've been holding, holding
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
