It's almost midnight, where you lay your head But I'm calling numbers, buying plane tickets and bed Every channel on the TV, it's a wonderful life I don't feel so wonderful on this cold winter night I missed Thanksgiving, missed a birthday or two Didn't make St. Valentines, but I was thinking of you Only one thing in the world, I couldn't do Only one thing could kill me, Christmas without you Ooh, the snow is on the ground The day's getting colder, I'm coming home now So go ahead light the fire, turn that Christmas tree on Cause I've been missing you so much I wrote you this song Yes, I did I missed Thanksgiving, missed a birthday or two Didn't make St. Valentines, but I was thinking of you Only one thing in the world, I couldn't do Only one thing could kill me, Christmas without you Only one thing in the world, I couldn't do Only one thing could kill me, Christmas without you Oh, the presents wrapped, and 'Jingle Bells' on the radio I'm turning down the street, there's no place I'd rather go Every holiday, oh, you feel the same Except for the ones when I'm with you I missed Thanksgiving, I missed a birthday or two I didn't make St. Valentines, but I was thinking of you Only one thing in the world, that I couldn't do There's only one thing that kills me, Christmas without you One Republic-- Christmas without you
