i love u to the moon n back

imagine (a perfect christmas)

There was once a time
when Christmases weren't so cold.
This weather used to be a crime
of how it was warm and bold.
Never was much snow
until I was stone cold,
and through it all I could barely see your glow.

Thought this time of year was about
being together,
yet the only gift I need right now
is to see you.

Wake up to Christmas morning
with cookies half-eaten.
Guess Santa came 'cause he knew
you were part of my nice list.
Wish it were snowing outside,
but at least you get to stay inside
and spend time with the ones you love.

Loving them presents,
even if they aren't the ones you imagined.
You probably thought
there weren't gonna be any ugly sweaters this time.
Well, that's where you're wrong,
and I guess you've been wrong about many things.

So tell me
what you've been imagining
as your perfect Christmas?
Is it as perfect
as the one I've always wanted to
imagine?

If reality's got no snow,
then why don't we imagine it as if it's a white Christmas?
Maybe it's a little too warm inside
for some hot cocoa,
so why don't we turn down that heat?
Or better yet,
maybe we could really just
keep the heat between us and the fireplace?
We don't even need to get out of our room
and just keep to ourselves with them white bubbles.

Don't need no angel
'cause you're the only one I need right now
and the one I've been imagining with me.
Don't need you to fly up through those clouds
to find me the best gifts you can get me,
because you already gave me the best gift ever-
you being here right by my side.

I love to imagine the best of everything,
but it's hard to wish for a perfect Christmas
when you're all alone
with no one there
to do nothing with.

Why aren't you here with me?
Why have you not been here for me?
Been wishing for an angel,
but I haven't seen that angel for almost a year now-
and you've still yet to return.

What do you imagine as your perfect Christmas?
Do you gather around the Christmas tree
with presents waiting to be teared opened?
Does your face glow up
whenever you open your gifts up,
your smile brighter and bigger
than your appreciation for everyone
who even took the time to buy you presents for today?

Wish my Christmas was like that.
Wish that I was never bored to death
in this merry jolly holiday.
I've got my family there for me,
and I could always try to hit up my friends
for good ole conversations,
but it's just not the perfect Christmas
that I would imagine.

Remember those Christmases when you were mine?
Remember any Christmases
when I wasn't feeling alone?
Yeah, me neither.
