The library lights burn late on the hill
Students hunched over, chasing their will
Stacks of books, coffee cups in hand
Dreaming of family and a winter wonderland
But the clock keeps ticking, the papers pile high
Cramming for finals, just hoping to get by
We're heading off campus for Christmas
Leaving the stress behind
Packin' up our cars, with back home in mind
Through the frost on the window
It really starts to snow
Heading off campus for Christmas, where our hearts belong
All my stuff packed up, coffee in my cup
One last deep breath, then the engine fires up
Snow on the hills as we roll out of town
The joy of Christmas is all around
Some prayed for help on their anatomy test
While some prayed to get home for some much needed rest
Home calls softly through the falling white
Every mile brings us closer tonight
We're heading off campus for Christmas
Leaving the stress behind
Packin' up our cars, with back home in mind
Through the frost on the window
It really starts to snow
Heading off campus for Christmas, where our hearts belong
Yeah, we're heading off campus for Christmas
Leaving the stress behind
Packin' up our cars, with back home in mind
Through the frost on the window
It really starts to snow
Heading off campus for Christmas, where our hearts belong
Oh we're headin
Yeah, we're heading off campus for Christmas, where our hearts belong.
