bitter cold

I'm breaking down on the bookstore floor Two days away from Christmas And a year from the girl I was before And I'm hugging a book to my chest Haven't seen you since July Oh my, does the time fly? And I don't have the festive spirit The lights are all blurred They don't shine like they used to Like I remember And this year there's no snow No white icy roads Just a bitter cold December And a bitter cold girl I'm breaking down at the gas station Near Jefferson street My elementary school's a couple blocks away And my childhood home Has got a Christmas Tree In the upstairs room where our computer used to be And I don't have the festive spirit The lights are all blurred They don't shine like they used to Like I remember And this year there's no snow No white icy roads Just a bitter cold December And a bitter cold girl And maybe this is what I get And maybe I should just forget it Nothing's the same as it used to be I'm crying by the Christmas Tree I missed you under the mistletoe I miss kissing in the winter gazebo And those stupid Christmas lights are just so blinding And I don't have the festive spirit The lights are all blurred They don't shine like they used to Like I remember And this year there's no snow No white icy roads Just a bitter cold December And a bitter cold girl Just a bitter cold December And a bitter cold girl.
