for christmas all i'm asking for is a little more than talk
that's all you are though lately, don't bother arguing with me
you're obsessed and upset; all you think of is sex
and i can't help but to feel
that what you're best at is driving forward, eyes closed
and hands off the steering wheel
but there's ice on these roads and more in your veins
you'd swear it was nothing, it all feels the same
so give it your best and carry it home
you're better than this - i just thought you should know
[CHORUS]
so have a merry christmas and a happy new year
you're always up to nothing good, i'm always up to my ears
in the sound of people caroling, they're wrapping my head
like a gift wrapped up in blankets, stealing sleep from your bed
for new years i think it's best just to forget those regrets you held onto
those hot heads and cold shoulders you wanted back but already told her
but there's still so much to be happy for this year
without her you're just a man without fear
and as long as it's worth mentioning, there's no pain in these gifts
no heat melting icebergs and no reason to quit
i'll just keep my time and money for some holiday cheer
cuz as far as i'm concerned you're on the wrong list this year

i fell asleep watching love actually without you
and woke up knowing
that christmas wouldn't light me up the way it used to
i felt a shiver down my spine, i'll keep your word if you keep mine
i'm made of glass - an ornament of lovers past
i hope your ghost of lovers future
is at least half the present i wish i could have given you
but your peace of mind will do
[CHORUS]
baby it's cold outside, but i'm staying up all night
writing a list of all i want this christmas
it's not a lot in fact it goes like this:
you, you, you
and when the snow comes i'll be stuck underneath
a makeshift shell of my sheets
getting drunk off all your favorite milk and honey teas
i'd like to tell you what it's like
on christmas eve without your light
the way you leave without a fight
the way you leave, the way you leave
but i'm sure you know, you've found out everything
the best i could have been to you
was a gift receipt in your jeans

[CHORUS]
i hope it's cold where you are
where hearts of gold are not too far
and every autumn wakes you up inside its arms
you're the haphazard flow of blood from within my veins
i'm the chill in the air that suffocates without your name
you're a chorus of light on a comatose skyline
i'm the loss of metaphors for five state lines
and i hope you remember what we couldn't figure out
my obvious insignificance and morose case of listlessness don't count
i hope it's cold in your bed
like empty pillows beside my head
remember us, when you were never second best

A Letter to Ilene

you're the sleeves i wear in august to hide my bad intentions
the cherry blossom in the morning, the name i fail to mention
were you ever meant to stay? will you remember what the day was
when you told me that you loved me on the way to tempe?
i'm not the same
we're a panic! on the dance floor, silver linings trick play
so very close to something perfect, just a word or two away
like "i miss you" like "i love you" like "i don't wanna be without you"
like "i'm so sick and fucking tired of always writing these songs about you"
i'm not the same
i'm a lifetime babyface but i'm about to turn heel
a sudden chair shot to theboyyoulove-d, the song you wanna hear
because i miss you, because i love you, because i don't wanna be without you
but if you're the rollins to my ambrose, then i'll hate you if i have to
I'M NOT THE SAAAaaaaAAAAaaaAAAME
you're the sleeves i wear in august to hide my bad intentions
the cherry blossom in the afternoon; you're gone with the wind
don't forget me when you're famous, when all your friends still think i'm nameless
i'm still a box in case you need, you're still the only one for me
