about
I wrote this one about how weird it was to be entering the holiday season knowing I wasn't going to be able to hug my parents at Xmas. Looking at it this year, that seems strange as well because we've thankfully been able to do that again now that everyone in our family is vaccinated. Still, what a world we're living in right now.
lyrics
It’s been a long ten months
since I’ve hugged my old man.
My mother asked me,
“Is this thing we do really living?”
I lied through my teeth.
Last week I prayed again
to calm myself down.
But god wasn’t in, he can’t be reached.
The angels have all been laid off.
It’s been a real hard year.
Fa la la la la
Fa la la la la
Hang up the lights in July.
Take down the tree in June (if you have to).
If we make it through this alive,
it’ll be alright.
We’ll be alright?
since I’ve hugged my old man.
My mother asked me,
“Is this thing we do really living?”
I lied through my teeth.
Last week I prayed again
to calm myself down.
But god wasn’t in, he can’t be reached.
The angels have all been laid off.
It’s been a real hard year.
Fa la la la la
Fa la la la la
Hang up the lights in July.
Take down the tree in June (if you have to).
If we make it through this alive,
it’ll be alright.
We’ll be alright?
