lyrics

I didn't think that this would be a normal Christmastime
I didn't think I'd still be cut up over old John Prine
Sometimes we've been apart, and sometimes you've been six feet near
Happy Christmas, I guess I'll see you next year

What's the point in decorations for an empty house?
At least this December will be easy on my bank account
The decade's off to a rough start, I think that much is clear
Happy Christmas, I guess I'll see you next year

You could say it might be worse when we hit 2021
But there were still a couple things that everyone got done
This year, we all learned not to plan too far ahead,
What the electoral college is, and how to bake banana bread

Spent most of 2020 sad and missing ya
And can you tell I'm still not over Adam Schlesinger?
The second album's finished, but we can't go get a beer
I'd really love to spread some joy and cheer
By singing something loud for all to hear
And high-five the rest of Fightmilk without fear
But I don't think we'll be getting the all-clear
So until then, we'll have to persevere
Happy Christmas, I guess I'll see you next year.
