"A Christmas Song" lyrics

Oh, the winter is here
And the leaves from the trees
Are rotting and all
I can feel is unease
Oh, the snow is not falling
But it feels like it might
And the robins are singing
But it sounds like a fight
And I'm mostly up writing
But can't think of the words
Oh, I'm stuck on a chorus
And not sure on the verse

And all of that wasted time
Another year's gone by
Screw it

I should just write a Christmas song
Make some money and then move on
I could live off the royalties
I could buy a big house overseas
I could mention the Bible scenes
It could be about all world peace
I could finally just forget
That you ever loved me and you ever left

Oh, the nights are so early
And the sun is so shy
And I'm here by the fire
With a thorn in my side
Oh, I miss you so badly
I can barely keep up
With the sad songs I'm writing
About all of the stuff
That we did in the winter
Like the burning of leaves
And the way I stop trembling
When you're looking at me

And all these sleigh bells sound
Like a damn death knell now
So screw it

I should just write a Christmas song
Everybody could sing along
In the streets and the shopping malls
I could have a gold disc up on my wall
I could mention the Bible scenes
It could be about all world peace
I could finally just forget
That you ever loved me and you ever left
