Christmas Anyway

There was snow from here to Boston
And everything was closed
But we packed the bags and headed
Out to the airport anyway

Two years since we made it
Two years without the fight
Two years without the endless game
Of trying to get it right

Nothing is the same
And nothing can be
I'll never understand you
And you'll never understand me
So place the star atop the tree
And hope it makes us happy
Let's hide it all
And deck the hall

We're having Christmas anyway

We dress up in our best for the parade
And watch the years float by
Along with all the plans they made
Stuck in this same town
Just slowly growing old
We were never one of them you know
We will never come in from the cold

You always place yourself above me
No christian charity
Will make you love me
So drink another toast tonight
And hope that we can make it right
Let's all pretend
We can be friends

And let's have Christmas anyway

Boxing Day arrives
We're headed home now
The sky is grey the air is cold
But we got through it somehow

Right before we left
You turned to hold me
I let myself give into you
I let your love enfold me

Nothing is the same
And nothing can be
I'll never understand you
And you will never understand me
But when it's late on Christmas night
And you turn out the Christmas lights
Despite it all
I always fall

I'm glad that we had Christmas anyway
I'm glad that we had Christmas anyway
I'm glad that we had Christmas anyway
We have Christmas anyway
We have Christmas anyway
We have Christmas anyway
We have Christmas anyway
We have Christmas anyway
We have Christmas anyway
