Half a step down

We all wait for the snow to fall

 And I hate this time of year because it kills us all but we

Run around like kids on the loose

 Chasing dreams like the babies play duck, duck, goose and I

Wait by the window cause she said she would call

 And when you finally do I watch the words fall out of

My mouth and stick to my shirt

 The summer's always lovely but the winters always hurt

 And maybe next year you could find me somewhere in the dirt

Who could forget, it was almost 2003

 We kissed under your Christmas tree

 While your parents were asleep

 I was 15 on top of the world

 I was 15 and you were my girl

 And all I'm saying is for Christmas this year I would kinda like to see you

Happy holidays, let's hope for the best

 And I'll try to ignore the feeling that I get in my chest when I

Think about all the time that we missed

 Being caught up growing up and acting selfish and pissed but I

Wait by the airport cause you said you'd come home

 And by now my hands are glued to my phone as you

Walk on a plane to fly home from LA

 I'm missing you on Christmas in the worst kind of way

 And maybe next time it won't be so easy for you to stray

Who could forget, it was almost 2003

 We kissed under your Christmas tree

 While your parents were asleep

 I was 15 on top of the world

 I was 15 and you were my girl

 And all I'm saying is for Christmas this year I would kinda like to see you

 so verse:

Chorus
