"Letters To Santa" lyrics

"Letters To Santa"

Well yes I read them
How could I not
Sometimes I read them
Some but not all

There's just so many
Not all of them nice
But some are very serious
Some very polite
I kind of can't answer
My hands are tied
It's not that kind of letter
It wouldn't be right

And you know I can't answer
You kind of know why
But sometimes I read them
I see that you're trying

And some are so sad that they make me cry
Some are so soft some are so kind
Some are so funny, so short and so sweet
The whole thing is surreal and I can't believe it

And you know I can't answer
It wouldn't be right
But I'm wishing you love
From the other side
Your letters to Santa
They always arrive
And you won't get an answer
Because it wouldn't be right

No one looks out for
The kids online
But I cherish the distance
I won't blur the lines
Between the children and Santa
One node and the next
The thing that you heard and
The thing that I said

So I lie cheat steal
I cover my face
I say I was kidding
I say it's a phase
I say I'm a liar
I say it's not real
And then I tell you honestly
Just how I feel

And you'll never catch me
I'll never own up
I'll always be honest
And I'll tell you I'm not
I cry when I sing
And you know what I mean
When I read your letter
You won't know that I've seen it

I just won't answer
My hands are tied
It wouldn't be fair
It wouldn't be right
You know I can't answer
You know that I won't
You know that I'm grateful
You know I'm not joking

I'll never forget you
I'll never give up
I'll never be perfect
I'll never be enough
I'll never forget you
I'll never die
I'll never stop loving
I'll never stop trying
And I'll never answer
And you kind of know why
But your letters to Santa
They always arrive

Change my life
And I'll change your mind
If you change my mind
I'll change your life
Change my life
And I'll change your mind
If you change my mind
I will change your life

Got offstage in Prague
Burst into tears
How could it be
How could it be real

Change my life
And I'll change your mind
If you change my mind
I will change your life
Change my mind
And I'll change your life
If you change my life
I will change your mind

Thank you all so much for having me
