Snowfall Kids

I remember Christmas like a fading Polaroid
Family crowded in the kitchen, noise we half enjoyed
Mom was wrapping presents late, Dad was humming songs
And I thought that kind of magic
Would stay with me my whole life long

But I grew up, the world got loud
Things got heavy, dreams fell out
Then you walked in like winter light
And everything felt warm and right

Cause Christmas used to be the snow that fell on childhood streets
The love inside my home, the boots too big for my own feet
But you're the kind of miracle that hits me like a drum
A heartbeat in the quiet, a fire I can't outrun
And now I'm standing here
Thinking what Christmas could mean for us
Yeah, what Christmas could mean for us

I remember mornings when the presents were a spark
The only thing that lit me up on days that felt too dark
Running down those stairs like I was racing Santa's sleigh
Wishing every year could stay as bright as Christmas Day

But growing up gets complicated
Dreams get bent, and hearts get jaded
Then your laugh just broke the static
Turned the cold to something magic

You hit me like a song I knew
Before I ever heard the tune

Cause Christmas used to be the snow that fell on childhood streets
The love inside my home, the boots too big for my own feet
But you're the kind of miracle that shakes me like the truth
A memory I never had but somehow always knew
And now I'm standing here
Thinking what Christmas could mean for us
Yeah, what Christmas could mean for us

Maybe love is just the snowfall
Quiet 'til it hits the ground
Maybe I was always waiting
For a place my heart felt found

And if I cry when winter hits
It's not the cold, it's all the years
The lonely Decembers
The laughter, the fears
And now you're here
And suddenly I'm not afraid
Of who I was
Or who I'll be
Next Christmas Eve

Yeah, maybe I was built for this
A messy love, a winter kiss
You're everything I didn't know
I'd been aching for

Cause Christmas used to be the lights that glowed on quiet nights
The childhood dreams I held like armor in the fights
But now it's in your voice, it's in the way you say my name
A brand-new meaning burning brighter than the flame

Christmas used to be the snow that fell on childhood streets
The warmth of family voices and the magic in retreat
But now you're here beside me, and I swear the world stands still
A promise in the chaos, a love I know is real
And yeah, I'm standing here
Believing what Christmas could mean for us
What Christmas could mean for us
What Christmas
Could mean
For us
