lyrics

Outside, the cold bit my tongue
Or you'd be smiling back at me
Underneath the mistletoe
Right beside the christmas tree
You were the sound of boots tapping up on top the roof,
and I was just the music in the background

I'm just another spoiled kid,
Who thinks Christmas comes every day
How it hurts to face the growing pains and Father Time
He said "Kid I know it sucks to hear,
But Christmas comes just once a year
and only sticks around if you're lucky"

"You're just playing around" they say
"Christ you're not a teenager anymore,
close the door", I think I'll leave it open,
I just can't seem to close it, I just can't seem to close it

I'm just another spoiled kid,
Who thinks Christmas comes every day
How it hurts to face the growing pains and Father Time
He said "Kid I know it sucks to hear,
But Christmas comes just once a year
and only sticks around if you're lucky"

Why won't you take it from where we left off,
A Christmas with no alcohol
I need you to tell me when I'm wrong from right,
Kiss me with a roll of dice
I'm just scared of the change, what I'm growing into
I don't want to be anyone but me but that's hard to do

I'm just another spoiled kid,
Who thinks Christmas comes everyday,
How it hurts to face the growing pains

I'm just another spoiled kid,
Who thinks Christmas comes every day
How it hurts to face the growing pains and Father Time
He said "Kid I know it sucks to hear,
But Christmas comes just once a year
and only sticks around if you're lucky"

I guess I was lucky

I was just another spoiled kid,
you taught me what it's like to live
and ruined me for anyone else
