Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the world that you would make up
With unicorns and buffalo backs
I hope that you could wake up
With the sunny side touching your back
[Verse 2]
Is it the lonely man of Christmas?
I'm coming up with theories on it
Is it the lonely man of Christmas?
He's riding in the devil's abyss
[Verse 3]
Oh, I would write the future
If I could put my 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?
He's hoping for a break in the plan
Is it the lonely drive to Denver?
The loneliness of holding your hand
[Verse 5]
Is it the time we spent in silence?
The silence of a wintery hand
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 something so much better than this?
