"Xmas Eve" lyrics

Last night was holy
Whole lot of whiskey
No one celebrates
The birth of Christ like me
At least I don't think so
But I was so gone
Stole that baby
From a manger on your front lawn

And please, oh, forgive me
Can you believe
The things we tell ourselves on Christmas eve?
If you ask me
I didn't mean it
"So help me, Jesus"
Last night was Christmas eve

Everyone knows I've got a sweet spot for you
That I cannot bear to let out
So I cover it in clothes and I drink
And I stole that baby
I stole that baby from your house
And I stole that baby
I stole that baby from your house
On Christmas eve

I don't use your name and you don't use mine
You write me letters that I'm not supposed to find
And I took the bus there, we were going nowhere
It didn't feel like we were going nowhere at the time

And forgive me, but can you believe
The song I wrote for you last Christmas eve?
If you ask me, I never mean it
Don't you believe it
Last night was Christmas eve

Everyone knows I've got a sweet spot for you
That I cannot bear to let out
So I cover it in clothes
Pour myself into a hole
Where I wait to bottom out
And I stole that baby
I stole that baby
From your house on Christmas eve

Oh, you forgive and you forget
You budge and you bend
And I forgave and you forgot again
And again and again and
I was crying in my car
And swearing that it would end
While you were watching from the bar
Swearing that we were friends
And we forgave and we forgot
And we budged and we bent and
By that time the holidays
Had come and then they went
You came here and I went there
Cause we always make amends and then
It is Christmas eve again
It is Christmas eve
