I'll Be Home For Christmas, I Just Don't Know What State I'll Be In

from All I'll Get This Christmas Is Upset by Madison Minor

about

This song is dedicated to all the retail workers busting their humps over the Christmas & New Year period. You all are the MVPs.
Thanks for keeping the world turning whilst everyone else enjoys their holiday.
This is an original tune, so it's not a Christmas carol or anything. You can listen to it all year round.

lyrics

(Save me)
This one might just do the trick to keep me safe
Or it might poison me, blow up in my face

I'm asking this, I'm asking this
So maybe you'll set me straight this time
I'm asking this, I'm asking this
And maybe you'll set me straight some time

I kept my heart inside my chest for you open up
But now it's Christmas and you're absent like my favourite book

This is why don't trust anyone

Weekends, weekdays, weakness it all works out the same
Regift, receipt, exchange me, I'm worthless anyway
Secrets, secrets, secrets, I'll keep mine, silent as a grave
I can't say the same of you

Nothing matters
Nothing matter til it does
Nothing matters but you do

This one might just do the trick tonight yeah!

I keep tripping on the lights I'm meant to hang myself up with
There's no courage left to fight, you suck up all the oxygen

And yet these minutes march me on...

Yeah!
Do I wish them all away?
Do I wish them all
Do I wish them all away?

Caught between a rock and a folk song

I meant to walk but I just can't lift my legs today
But I've got eyes to see this through

I keep tripping on the lights I'm meant to hang myself up with
There's no courage left to fight, you suck up all the oxygen
(I keep tripping) I keep tripping on the lights I'm meant to hang myself up with
(I keep tripping) There's no courage left to fight, you suck up all the oxygen

I keep tripping on the lights I'm meant to hang myself up with
I keep tripping
I keep tripping
I keep tripping on the lights I'm meant to hang myself up with
I keep tripping, I keep tripping
I keep tripping

So I'll replace this familiar face
And work on sending signals into outer space
And you'll be fine, and I'll be fine
I've realised that I'll never have a social life
