maybe next christmas
I wrote a short story titled "The Timely Mistake of Missing Someone" for my World Literature Final Paper. If it died and was reincarnated into a song, this would be it. Thank you, Matthew Mayfield, for your amazing voice and sheer brilliance. This song has been on repeat in my ear-buds.
Maybe next Christmas’
she used to say
‘We’ll find a new life and we’ll both run away
Maybe next Christmas
I won’t be with him
Maybe next Christmas
we can start fresh again
Maybe next Christmas
We’ll have reaped what we’ve sown
Maybe next Christmas
We’ll have paid what we owe
Maybe next Christmas
We won’t be afraid
Maybe next Christmas
We’ll both be ok
But you can’t pull the truth out of thin air
And you can’t manufacture what ain’t there
And maybe next Christmas
We’ll sit by a fire
Maybe next Christmas
You won’t be a liar
Maybe next Christmas
I’ll be in your arms
With the scent of the evergreen keeping us strong
Maybe next Christmas
I’ll finally get to see
You wearing that dress that you bought just for me
Maybe next Christmas
You’ll be by my side
And relentlessly prove to me that I’m worth the fight
Maybe next Christmas
I’ll have more to say
Than ‘I gave you everything and you gave me away’
But you can’t pull the truth out of thin air
And you can’t manufacture what ain’t there
And maybe next Christmas
You won’t be thinking
That I’m just a criminal and you’re still the queen
Maybe next Christmas
I’ll have more to say
Than I gave you everything and you gave me away
I gave you everything and you gave me away
I gave you everything and you gave me away
