about

For Clay's assignment, of course; thanks, Clay! I don't know why I'm so unenthusiastic about new Christmas songs, but I've never written one before. So, obviously, I write a broken heart's club song.

lyrics

it was once upon a time
in the backstreets of my mind
before the fairy tale derailed
and the stars all lost their shine
do you ever even wonder
what became of your old crew
hanging round with nothing left to do

god I bet you're a mess now
your over-caffeinated kids
are probably failing out of bible school
doing things we never did
and you try to hold together
but your husband's such a sleaze
these are just a few of my
favorite fantasies

and I don't know what you've become
sometimes I wonder why I care
don't even know if you're still there

when you come back home for Christmas
let's go out and have a beer
I know you don't love me anymore
and it's been so many years
I don't know what I've been missing
I just know it isn't here
when you come back home for Christmas
please don't go and disappear

I saw this guy down at the park
with a schnauzer and a ball
you never seen a dog so happy
every time that guy would call
that's the way you used to make me feel
I didn't know what I was supposed to do
I just ran around in circles
trying to merge myself with you

hell, I thought I'd see you last year
at the Renaissance Hotel
James and Ginny finally tied the knot
it all promptly went to hell
with a cash bar at the wedding and
an awful cover band
the only reason that I showed up
was for a glimpse of your left hand

and I don't know what you've become
sometimes I wonder why I care
don't even know if you're still there

when you come back home for Christmas
let's go out and have a beer
I know you don't love me anymore
and it's been so many years
I don't know what I've been missing
I just know it isn't here
when you come back home for Christmas
please don't go and disappear
