about

It seemed like a challenge...to do something Christmas-related but not lean into too many tropes.

It's that time you could speak to someone you haven't seen in ages, try and fix something that's broken...even if it might not work out

lyrics

Honestly…I really miss you around
It’s hard to think, how we could end up like this
I’m on my way, home for Christmas time
But you’re not there - we can’t make things right

This time of year, made you really glow
Is it too late, to tell you how I feel?
To use this time take a step to unwind
This mess we’ve made and smile again

Do you remember the time?
When I was yours and you were mine
It wasn’t easy
But you are on my mind

On and on we’d stay
On and on we’d go
Oh and how we’d play in the snow
Hurting through the years
Giving in to our fears
Put that all away, don’t be alone

There is something in my eyes
There is something in my heart
There is something in your eyes
There is something in your heart

Do you remember the time?
When I was yours and you were mine
It wasn’t easy
But you are on my mind

On and on we’d stay
On and on we’d go
Oh and how we’d play in the snow
Hurting through the years
Giving in to our fears
Put that all away, don’t be alone

I’m on my way, home for Christmas time
But you’re not there - we can’t make things right

There'll be noise. There'll some mellow times and some shouting. There'll be electro beats and angry bass. There'll be mellow and acoustic.
