Christmas Lights Lyrics

She's got christmas lights in her room

All year 'round

It keeps everything soft around the edges

As she lays inside the darkness

And a comforter that smells just like dog

Sweet but overwhelming

Something you love but could grow to hate

Something just like me

Everything is everywhere

Everything's a mess

Just like I left it

Just like you and me

You think of all the things you could have said

You think of all the things you said instead

When you're living inside your head

And you don't even know how you really feel

And you don't know if this love is real

Or if it's a fleeting thing

It's writing a song

About the wrong girl

When she calls your name

It ruins your world

I didn't do it willfully

I wasn't calm

It wasn't exacting

But I knew it was wrong

An incinerator

A great house fire

You tell me the truth but I'm a fucking liar

I watched it crumble as you turned to dust

I watched you trust me as I turned to lust

And you just wanted what you couldn't touch

The only thing she did was love too much

And you'll never see her again

And you just had to see about a girl

How can you know if you never roam if you were really home?

And now you'll never really be home

I hope someday she'll be happy

Perhaps someday she'll continue to love me

Find someone that's good enough

Somehow find someone to trust
