Lyrics
I don't remember
The last time I gave my lover anything but love
And you don't know what it's like down here
But I know what it's like up above
Where your dinners are all served
And your bills are paid ahead
And you get a marble column when you're dead
I don't remember
The last time I even bothered to promise the world
All I need is a night where you do what you do
When you're two, when you're a boy and a girl
And when I say it's all I need
It's because I can't get what I want
When you're at the back of the line, you glare at the front
Second shift, Christmas eve, how I wish I could believe
My kids are making compromises
Santa doesn't do surprises
Some kids, they don't get a Christmas at all
But I'm the one that's got to watch their spirits fall
Second shift, Christmas eve, baby, you've got to believe in me
We will take that lake vacation
No more cruel abbreviations
I'm lucky to have known love at all
But you're the one that's got to watch my castles fall
Second shift, Christmas eve, how I wish I could believe
My kids are making compromises
Santa doesn't do surprises
Some kids, they don't get a Christmas at all
But I'm the one that's got to watch their spirits fall
