Lots of little lights
And smoke from chimney fires
Faking a smile on your face
No one wants to go
So we intoxicate the moment
Wasting away in our homes
I want to be a holiday
But not so cheap and thrown away
I want to be a love affair
But not so dull and bound to fail
The movies and the wine
And who sleeps where tonight
Holding the one you don't love
The silence in the bar
Quiet drive home in the car
Making it worse so it ends
I want to be a holiday
But not so cheap and thrown away
I want to be a love affair
But not so dull and bound to fail
You know you won't be coming home
Unless it's in the event of snow
I told you so
And the light in your lover's eyes
Will grow dim it's a matter of time
You'll ask them why
