livsiren This song FEELS like this year, but in a good way. A bittersweet waltz about being content with a small and quiet holiday.

about

2020 has been a trying year. If it has taught me anything, it's to care even more deeply about those nearest to me.

lyrics

My bags not packed
I’m staying in
The door is locked
TV glows again

With some Christmas movie
I think his name is Snoopy
or maybe it’s Ebenezer Scrooge

As it starts to snow
I stare at the mistletoe
And think this year, it’s only me and you

I couldn’t be happier you see
To be stuck inside with you
The whole world lost its mind but with you I’m resigned
To bid them all adieu

Though my eyes are closed
I start to wake
You talk to yourself
Making plans for the day

As you hum O Tannenbaum
I think of Charlie Brown
You remind me, we need to get the tree

And as you sing Pretty Paper
I fumble with the scraper
and we make our through frozen scenery

I couldn’t be happier you see
To be stuck inside with you
The whole world lost its mind but with you I’m resigned
to bid them all adieu

I’m not leaving home
I’m not leaving home
I’m not leaving home this Christmas
This year it seems
Will be eternity
I’m not leaving home this Christmas

[Ripping guitar solo]

We watch some Christmas movie
I think his name is Snoopy
or maybe it’s Ebenezer Scrooge

I put the star on the tree
You put boxes underneath
And think this year, it’s only me and you

I’m not leaving home
I’m not leaving home
I’m not leaving home this Christmas
This year it seems
Will be eternity
I’m not leaving home this Christmas

I’m not leaving home
I’m not leaving home
I’m not leaving home this Christmas
This year it seems
Has been misery
I’m not leaving home this Christmas
