The Only Thing That Glistens

For the Foxes
I've been staring at these walls
Long enough to deck the halls.
If Carolina sings the blues,
I'll request a song from me to you.
And tell you how to measure love.
You'll tell me how to measure dust.
You said, "Don't mix the past and future up,
It just blurs a line that never was."
Is it true?
I never thought I'd ever lose you.
When red and green turn black and blue,
You're the only thing that ever glistened.
This Christmas, I'll be missing you.
No silent nights, no mistletoe.
I'm kissing on your Christmas ghost.
If the season brings you back to me,
I will make that wish on New Year's Eve.
Cause your that gift I never earned,
But this state is know to have a curse.
Nat King Cole, I guess he never learned
Chestnuts unattended always burn.
They burn.
Is it true?
I never thought I'd ever lose you.
When red and green turn black and blue,
You're the only thing that ever glistened.
This Christmas, I'll be missing you.
White blankets, bright lights, starry eyed skies.
Won't you come home tonight?
It's true.
I never thought I'd ever lose you.
Red and green turn black and blue.
You're the only thing that ever glistened.
This Christmas, I'll be missing you.
