A very lo-fi emotional christmas song for my friends and the ghosts of Christmas Past

lyrics

LYRICS --

I miss everyone I've ever met but a few of you more sharply
and as November thunders past again I feel compelled to say i'm sorry
for what I am not sure
but the feeling is pure and so

Will you hang a star for me if you still decorate Christmas tree
and will you raise a glass to when the drinks we drank were stolen

I wore your clothes i ate your lunch I got vomit on your sheets
I walked in each time I needed you and never thought you needed me
so i walked out when you did
and cuz im not the first idiot who thinks they'll live forever

will you hang a star for me and all the assholes who forgot to tell you
what an honor it has been to watch Will Ferrell on your couch

We got high on mountain peaks we thought we were being Native Americans
your mom said she'd skin me alive if I ever gave her son drugs again
but you gave them to me
and i didn't snitch for 7 years and then it was too late

(halleluja choir)

every year I hope i'll buy you the present
that can somehow make this weirdness go away
but every year even if i had the money
im starting to realize i really just don't know your taste

I wasn't there when your dad died because i owed him one hundred dollars
and you've all moved out of that house and into spaces that are smaller
but when i close my eyes
im still stepping down into that sunken living room
you never used except for once a year when you would

hang a star for me to decorate your christmas tree
and we would raise a glass of whatever we'd blame your mom's friend Mark for stealing

so wont you hang that star for me now even if its in your mind
above the dessert and the sea and all this time i can't rewind

i miss everyone i've ever met but a few of you more sharply
