That Time Of Year

That time of year when shops close early
Everyone has gone home
That time of year when you can really hurt me
The world is movin' so slow
That time of year you think 'bout all your choices
Where the hell did you go?
It's never colder than when hearts get warmer
And it's supposed to snow

My doorbell is ringin'
I'm far out of reach
No choirboys singin'
No lights on any trees

I really wish that you found someone
That he holds your hand, that he understands
Don't worry, I'm good at drowning tears
Baby, it's that time of year
There's Christmas songs on the radio
Creeping in like Radiohead
Don't worry, I'm good at drowning tears
Baby, it's that time of year

An empty seat, no talk around the table
We didn't make it this year
And all the kids are hooked on their new AirPods
Silent night over here
I've seen the world like I'm a sailor
On the seven seas
There's one season that I'm avoidin'
I spend it on the beach

My doorbell is ringin'
I'm far out of reach
No choirboys singin'
By the slot machines

I really wish that you found someone
That he holds your hand, that he understands
Don't worry, I'm good at drowning tears
Baby, it's that time of year
There's Christmas songs on the radio
Creeping in like Radiohead
Don't worry, I'm good at drowning tears
Baby, it's that time of year
