Lyrics

[Verse 1]

In the world that you would make up

With unicorn and buffalo backs

I know that you would wake up

With the sunny side touching your back

[Verse 2]

Is it the lonely man of Christmas?

Coming up with theories on him

Is it the lonely man of Christmas?

He's riding in the devils abyss

[Verse 3]

Oh, I would write the future

If I could put a finger on it

But I have no idea

If what I want is better than this

[Verse 4]

Is it the lonely man of winter?

I could put my finger on that

Is it the lonely drive to Denver?

The loneliness of Hoppington's hat

[Verse 5]

Is it the time we spent in silence?

Time will tell what winter he had

Is it the lonely man of winter?

I could put my finger on that

[Verse 6]

And even if it's Christmas

Could we just pretend for a bit?

That everything we went through

Was someone else's carpenter kiss?
