The Only Thing That Glistens Lyrics by For the Foxes

Hopeless For The Holidays

2010

[Verse 1]
I've been staring at these walls
For long enough to deck the halls
If Carolina sings the blues I’ll re/
/quest a song from me to you
And tell you how to measure love
You'll tell me how to measure lust
You said don't mix the past and future up
It just blurs a line that never was
[Chorus]
Is it true
I never thought I’d ever lose you
Red and green turn black and blue
You're the only thing that ever glistened
This Christmas I'll be missing
You
[Verse 2]
Silent nights no mistletoe
I'm kissing, oh, your Christmas ghost
If thе season brings you back to me I will
Make that wish on Nеw Year's eve
'Cause you're that gift I never earned
But the state is known to have a curse
Now Nat King Cole I guess he never learned chestnuts
Unattended always burn
Burn
[Chorus]
Is it true
I never thought I'd ever lose you
Red and green turn black and blue
You’re the only thing that ever glistened
This Christmas I’ll be missing
You
[Bridge]
Bright blankets, bright night
A storyboard sky
Won't you come home tonight
[Chorus]
Is it true
I never thought I’d ever lose you
Red and green turn black and blue
You're the only thing that ever glistened
This Christmas I'll be missing
You
