Текст пісні
You grew up where the skyline used to whisper
Back before the towers touched the cold night air
Ran these streets with wild ambition
Never thought you'd end up here
South End wasn't glowing yet
Tracks still quiet after dark
Funny how life loops you around
Right back to where you left your heart
And I watch you haul the magic
For everybody else
But who brings Christmas
When you're carrying the world yourself?
You're a misplaced reindeer
Running tired through the Queen City lights
Santa and you look the same some years
Both saving the day both losing sleep at night
Rudolph's broke down on South Boulevard
Traffic frozen feelings hard
But somehow you still steer the sleigh through fear
Yeah you magnificent wandering
Misplaced reindeer
You keep racing all the deadlines
Like the tree at the Square's about to fall
Holding dreams bigger than Charlotte
But pretending you don't feel it all
And every Christmas you give joy
You never get to keep
Still wrapping the world in comfort
While you run on hours of broken sleep
But I've seen you in the quiet
When your armor drops to none
You still believe in miracles
Even when you feel undone
You're a misplaced reindeer
Running tired through the Queen City lights
Santa and you look the same some years
Both saving the day both losing sleep at night
Rudolph's broke down on South Boulevard
Sleigh dented fate hits hard
But you still guide the sleigh through every fear
Yeah you stubborn shining
Misplaced reindeer
Maybe Christmas found you
When you didn't look its way
Hidden in small soft moments
Off East Blvd on a rainy day
And maybe the life you never pictured
Turned out better than the plan
'Cause even the brightest magic
Needs a tired goodhearted man
You're a misplaced reindeer
But somehow you've been guiding us for years
Every trial every bruise every midnight tear
Still turning broken roads into wonder here
Rudolph's broke down on South Boulevard
But your heart still lights the yard
And maybe one day it'll all be clear
You were always the magic
Always the reason
Always the North Star
My misplaced reindeer
Snow on the rail lines Uptown glowing
Dreams you never planned still growing
Maybe you didn't choose this story
But it chose you
And I'm right beside you
Always knew
Exactly
Who you were
My Santa
My magic
My misplaced reindeer
