I don't know why I don't feel it
Something about this time is different
I'm gonna buy up all the lights in every color they have
I never talk to my neighbor
I hate to ask when I need a favor but all the hardware stores are closed
And something happens when it snows

I think I could feel like a kid on Christmas
Looking out the window right on time
These days I don't air on optimistic
Something 'bout the way this year went
I wish I could just feel like a kid on Christmas

So what if I lost my religion
I still love my light up plastic Jesus
I put him on the fireplace
I leave him plugged in all night
So what if it's a fire hazard
What if I have to work it out backwards
Go back home for the holidays
Shooting whiskey in the driveway

I think I could feel like a kid on Christmas
Looking out the window right on time
These days I don't air on optimistic
Something 'bout the way this year went
I wish I could just feel like a kid

Waking up at 5am before the winter Sun is coming in
Is it just a stupid wish or could I ever get it back again

I think I could feel like a kid on Christmas
Looking out the window right on time
These days I don't air on optimistic
Something 'bout the way this year went
I wish I could just feel like a kid on Christmas
