Christmas Date

Verse 1
The "landed safe" texts are sent, my friends are all away,
They're posting from the ski slopes, laughing in the bright array.
My plans are like a paper chain, torn and thrown aside,
The silence in the apartment no longer needs to hide.
But I won't chase the echoes of the noise that's somewhere else,
I'll turn this quiet evening into something fabulous.

Chorus
Oh, this is my Christmas date, a Christmas date for one,
No compromises to be made, no duties to be done.
This is my Christmas date, a Christmas date tonight,
Just me, the sparkling city, and the softly falling light.

Verse 2
I'm not decking a spruce tree, but a bath with pearls and steam,
And lighting countless candles just to watch the shadows gleam.
I'll play that silly movie that they all just roll their eyes at,
And wear my favorite sparkly dress dancing with my silhouette.
It's brighter than the echoes of the noise that's somewhere else,
I've turned this quiet evening into something fabulous.

Chorus
'Cause this is my Christmas date, a Christmas date for one,
No compromises to be made, no duties to be done.
This is my Christmas date, a Christmas date tonight,
Just me, the sparkling city, and the softly falling light.

Bridge
And finally, I'll meet the girl I see within my gaze,
The one who's always rushing through a million hazy days,
Who wears a mask of "I'm okay." I'll look at her and say:
"May all your dreams come true, and may you meet your real self".

Chorus
This is my Christmas date, a Christmas date for one,
No compromises to be made, no duties to be done.
This is my Christmas date, a Christmas date for one,
No compromises to be made, no duties to be done.
This is my Christmas date, a Christmas date tonight,
Just me, the sparkling city, and the softly falling light.

Outro
I lift my glass of golden cheer, to my reflection, hey!
"To us. To me. Merry Christmas, dear.
You've earned this perfect day."
