Snow Day

Another snow day that we're miles away I try to maintain a holiday mental-state When the phone rings my understanding of love really turns around I don't need you here as long as I can hear Mariah singin' in the background When did my phone die I don't think that I can make it home alive Just want you by my side But these roads forbid me from making the drive Let's try to build a fire 'til we're tired Of burning up paper balls Let's watch a movie or two or three And hang lights up from all the walls You can tuck me in bed, but I won't feel your hand on my head Let's try to build a fire but in our dreams instead You promised me that you'd be home for Christmas Eve You said I'm the only present you wanna see under the tree The snow's falling faster and all that I ask is you call me when you're home safe If Santa Claus could grant me just one wish I'd just wanna see your face Let's try to build a fire 'til we're tired Of burning up paper balls Let's watch a movie or two or three And hang lights up from all the walls It'll snow all day, and you'll have no choice but to stay Let's try to have a snow day when we're not miles away And these lights don't look the same without your eyes to illuminate If the power goes out in the storm you know where to go to get warm I'll be home Let's try to build a fire 'til we're tired Of burning up paper balls Let's watch a movie or two or three And hang lights up from all the walls I don't want to be cold without you here to hold So it can't snow 'til you're home Let's try to build a snowman 'til we can't feel our hands Then we'll knock it down Let's watch a Christmas Story When we're bored we'll drink every time they say "You'll shoot your eye out" It'll snow all day, you'll have no choice but to stay Let's try to have a snow day when were not miles away
