You Can Always Come Home

It was 9 after 25 you came into the world Chicago winter windchill welcomes baby girl Hunkered down by the blaze in our living room Learning how to be a Dad sure I missed some cues Our little team kept you ever on the go We were driving over mountains, let the ocean meet your toes But four Christmases gone all this time passed Hard to see you growing up with every single lap Stocking with your name is lit by the fireplace First thing we bought when we were picking out your first name And a tree too tall for your short ass Dad Who insists he can carry it. He can't Sit quietly as you're drifting off to sleep Thinkin 'bout your journey and the memories you'll keep Cuz even if we're crazy, have a tendency to roam I hope that Christmas always feels like coming home A warm hug that cuts through the winter cold Too much excitement to contain for a three-year-old All your favorite babies, Minnie blanket on the bed Another stitch from the weaving of your life's thread Bring this feeling with you everywhere you go Keep in the hot summer keep it with you when you're cold Whenever we're apart, I want you to know that Our love is always here, you can always come home Bright lights that emblazon every branch Making shadows on the ceiling, we're staring in a trance Wasn't always white, but the weather's always freezing And my heart still grows three sizes every season Tree adorned with ornaments, memories we cherish We absorb euphoria so that we can share it Take a second to remember those who passed Grateful I've got my Mom and Dad Cinnamon rolls and cheers when you're older Another log on the fire when its colder Stack of rat pack vinyls on the record player OK it's Spotify, I was just playin' Singing Hark, like the angel share the herald Snuggle in to watch Gonzo tell a Christmas Carol Nowhere to be and nobody on a phone, Hope that Christmas always feels like coming home A warm hug that cuts through the winter cold Too much excitement to contain for a three-year-old All your favorite babies, Minnie blanket on the bed Another stitch from the weaving of your life's thread And bring this feeling with you everywhere you go Keep in the hot summer and keep it with you when you're cold If we're ever far apart, then I need you to know that our Love is always here and you can always come home
