lyrics

Guess I'm the one who is driving to Christmas this year
I'm the one who will watch Mom fall asleep in the rearview mirror
And if I'm being honest it's hard to have much cheer
Without you here

I sit down next to an empty spot on the couch
I sneak beers all night in the hope that I'll pass out
So I can forget how much I wish I was laughing outloud
With you now

The holidays are getting a little harder this year
But we're getting through
I walk alone at night through the Christmas lights
But it's better than pacing the room
And holding on to every
Christmas memory
That I have of you
I know some day they'll cheer me up
But right now I don't know what to do

I'm writing this song on my first guitar
You bought for me God that just seems so far
Away from me and I wish I knew where you are

Because if you're a ghost
Come visit me so
We can go see all the Christmas of old
Lay on the floor
Next to the Christmas tree
We didn't take it for granted
Did we?
