Years from now I picture us sitting on a train
You reading a French paper and me clenching my suitcase
You're wearing one of those t-shirts that says 'I love New York'
To remind you of all our great adventures abroad
Well this is your present for the next few years
So play this back as December nears
And if Christmas comes and I'm not there to say
Of all the presents I got this Christmas
You're my favourite by far
And though you came with no instructions
Trying to figure you out has been the best part
You ask me what we should do tonight
I reply 'the same thing we did last night, try take over the world'
We can walk the streets like we're Hawke and Delpy
Practise the language on the strangers we meet
Well this is your present for the next few years
So play this back as December nears
And if Christmas comes and I am far away
Of all the presents I got this Christmas
You're my favourite by far
And though you came with no instructions
Trying to figure you out has been the best part
You never asked for a song
That's why you're getting one
Cause I never asked for your love
Still I got me some
You never asked for a song
That's why you're getting one
Cause I never asked for your love
Still I got me some
Of all the presents I got this Christmas
You're my favourite by far
And though you came with no instructions
Trying to figure you out has been the best part
