Merry Christmas (Band Version) Lyrics

With salt in my teeth it feels good to release

All the pain and the pressure of last week

And I know I can be a little bit ungrateful

But I've tried my very best

To be someone you can be proud of

'Cause it that time of year

When I lose a bit of weight

But then put it all back on plus a little bit more

'Cause of all Nan's cooking

how could I resist

With a voice in my head saying

how lucky am I to live like this

I've had about seven showers

But I don't still don't feel clean just yet

And I know I'm not in any place

To feel the way I do

And we all know what we need

And that's usually to be needed

Or maybe that's just me

Thinking everyone feels the way that I do

Do you feel like an idiot too

And I hope that in four and a half hours

I'll already be there

And if I get there in time

Then I might sing a few songs

'Cause I know pop he always liked that

Cause there's salt in my teeth

And it feels good to release

All the pain and the pressure of last week

And I know I can be a little bit arrogant

But I just need you to know

That I'm trying

And it's that time of year

When the nights come in late

And we stay up talking about mistakes that we've made

Until good old Uncle Kevin

Will take out a poem

And he'll hand it around

And say let's turn this into a song

And I never thought

That it would mean so much to me to be there

And if I think about it too long

I don't even know why I left in the first place

Because it that time of year

When I lose a bit of weight

But then put it all back on plus a little bit more

'Cause of all Nan's cooking

how could I resist

With a voice in my head saying

how lucky am I to live like this

And I'm sorry for the dumb things I'll say

In front of everyone at dinner

And for not giving a thorough answer

As to what my life plans are

And when I finally get to think about the things you gave me

I might even build up the courage to call

Once or twice a month

I'm sitting under the tree

Where we buried the dog

And the sounds of the leaves

Are being drowned out by the cars on Gundy road

Can you hear the silent drone?
