lyrics

All I really want this year's
to leave my family here and come home to you.
I think you broke Christmas, girl,
because I've had twenty-five before,
this hasn't ever felt true.

Maybe it's the California heat.
Maybe it's the pitter-patter of little feet.
Maybe it's that I can't text you and be discreet.
But this Christmas doesn't feel complete without...

You I know I've gotta stay
at least until Boxing Day.
And all I can say is that I hope that next time.

All I really want this year's
to leave my family here and go home to our cats.
I think you broke Christmas, girl,
because I've had twenty-six before
and I've never ever felt like that.

And maybe I'm dreaming too far ahead,
but I can't wait until our kids are asleep in bed,
because then we can make our family come here.
As long as we're alone by New Year's.

Because you know they'll want to stay,
at least until Boxing Day.
And all I can say is that I know that next time.

I don't want an eight foot Christmas tree.
I don't need the snow.
I don't even mind the rain.

You know that I've never felt this way before,
so I'm not sure I'm doing a good job to explain.
But I think that you broke Christmas.
