Grinch Era Lyrics

Hey y'all, it's Christmas ti-i-i-i-i-ime

Eggnog in pajamas

As we rock it round the tree

Colored lights are scintillating

What a sight to see

My guests don't stop arriving

There's so many smiles to greet

But one of them is missing

It's the one that can't be beat

Distract myself with a gift exchange

With family and friends

High up go their spirits

But I just hope one day it ends

It's not that I hate Christmastime

The magic joy we share

Just that the season keeps reminding me

Of the romance I can't ever bear

'Cuz love's the thing I've always wanted

Every single year

So when I see that mistletoe,

Well I'm not filled with cheer

Snow falls

Heart aches

Wish I could undo

All those mistakes

Now I sit

All alone

My hands numb

Scrolling my phone

At a Christmas party

Where I can stuff my face

With gingerbread and peppermint

And eat to forget

'Cuz love's the thing I've always wanted

Every single year

So when I see that mistletoe,

Well I'm not filled with cheer

There I sat down sulking

Jack Frost freezing up my chest

Longing for a hand to hold

And hoping for the best

By myself at Christmastime

But what about these folks

Spending time here dancing

Seems those feelings were a hoax

Cause I'm surrounded by my loved ones

My friends who hold me dear

And I overlooked my family

The love I want's been here

They got me singing carols

On the karaoke machine

My Grinch era is over

And I have everything I'll need

'Cuz love's the thing I've always wanted

Every single year

And now I look around and see

It's all already here

Love is all around us now

And it's just crystal clear

All my friends and family are like

Rudolf the Reindeer

I would be the guy who rode a horse to town

Like Paul Revere
