So what if it's freezing, I'm awake and I'm happy
|
The sun's steepling its shards on my floor
|
I drag my feet to the shower and I hear someone singing
|
I keep the lights off while the water gets warm
|
|
Now I knot up my tie and toss books in a schoolbag
|
They keep my priorities straight
|
So I can sleepwalk through work like an outpatient program
|
I don't buy but get through anyway
|
|
And at some point I'll call you and tell you I miss you
|
And you are the point of my day
|
And my face will get flushed and my throat will choke up
|
When you tell me that you feel the same
|
|
So I have been thinking of splitting up Christmas
|
To see everyone I'd like to see
|
And you're first on that list
|
You're the lotto I hit
|
You're the star at the top of the tree
|
|
And I have been feeling this good for a reason
|
My friends and my family
|
You all are my backbone
|
You keep me balanced and settled
|
And I'm in debt to you all endlessly
|
|
So tonight I will call you and try to say
|
"Thank you for being the sun on my face
|
I know the world's almost over but you make it seem better
|
And I hope for you I do the same"
|
