Winter’s always colder when you spend it all alone,
I’m getting old my parents, they
Don't want me to come home.
They want me to find,
A family to call mine.
But all I see is you,
In all the pictures on my phone.
My aunt Jenny told me love was never worth the time,
She split up her family back in 1999.
She’s down on her luck, but I think it’s enough.
The give and take, we’ll make mistakes, and sometimes compromise
I can smell the pines down 42nd avenue,
I look for your face in every Christmas storefront view
All the bells and all the trees,
All the spaces in between,
This year I’ll just pretend ,
But maybe one day you will spend,
A holiday with me
I called you up to tell you I was coming back to town
New York's pretty cool,
I’m just a face lost in the crowd.
No one really sees,
The person that’s beneath,
You could always pick me up.
You never let me down.
I can see the pines down 42nd avenue,
I look for your face in every Christmas storefront view
All the bells and all the trees,
All the spaces in between,
This year I’ll just pretend,
But maybe one day you will spend,
A holiday with me
This year I’ll just pretend,
That maybe one day you will spend,
All the holidays with me
