Remember when you packed the snow into a jar and sealed it closed?
And put it in a freezer drawer and said that if it never thawed
Then everything was as it was and would be now for the rest of time
I found it just the other night
It had changed but not like you and I
And whether they are clear or blurred the streets are like familiar words
And even if they’re laced with frost and even if my legs are lost
I hope I find my way back all the same
It’s like a compass running through my veins
Come out if you like
Come out if you like
Come out if you don’t like - it’s Christmas
And I just crave the simple things, the true and real and simple things
And that is what the weeks will bring, a little burst to replenish my bones
Please know you will never not be home
Please know you will never not be home
Come out if you like
Come out if you like
Come out if you don’t like - it’s Christmas
Remember when you packed the snow into a jar and sealed it closed?
And put it in a freezer drawer and said that if it never thawed
Then everything was as it was and would be now for the rest of time
I found it just the other night
It had changed but not like you and I
I opened it emptied it and sighed
We cannot pick and choose but we can try
Come out if you like
Come out if you like
Come out if you don’t like - it’s Christmas
