Ghost of December

Every carol sounds like a lie

Watching the white snow drifting by

It's a lonely Christmas, a ghost in the house

Only silence for my mouth

Yeah, the tinsel on the glass don't shine

This feeling here is only mine

I wish I could fast-forward the day

Just make the pain go away

The city lights are blinding bright

Guess they don't know I'm alone tonight

The tree is decorated, yeah, the gifts are wrapped

But nobody's coming to the final trap

I left the TV on for the noise

Pretending that I heard your voice

I bought a ticket for a flight

But I stayed home in the fading light

Every carol sounds like a lie

Watching the white snow drifting by

It's a lonely Christmas, a ghost in the house

Only silence for my mouth

Yeah, the tinsel on the glass don't shine

This feeling here is only mine

I wish I could fast-forward the day

Just make the pain go away

I remember last year on the floor

Promising we'd always want some more

Now I check the frozen phone one time

Hoping for a call that isn't mine

Your sweater's hanging on the bedroom door

Don't know what I'm fighting this silence for

It's just another holiday that passed

Things that you think are built to last

I don't need a present

I just need your face

I don't need the lights on

I need you in this place

Tell me how to make the clock move faster

Before this feeling turns into a disaster

(I'm stuck here in December...)

(Just a ghost...)

Every carol sounds like a lie (It's a lie)

Watching the white snow drifting by

It's a lonely Christmas, a ghost in the house

Only silence for my mouth

Yeah, the tinsel on the glass don't shine

This feeling here is only mine (Only mine)

I wish I could fast-forward the day

Just make the pain go away

A ghost in the house

December

(Fade out)
