about

A Christmas song about being in a relationship for the holidays after being single for what feels like a lifetime.

lyrics

The holidays can take their toll
When you're on your own
Like the Northern Pole
In the depths of spring
You wanna be doing something
But the mountain metaphor I've made
Is a symptom of the want outweighed
By the doubt it brings
To realize you needed something
But when the time arrives
That someone wants to get a tree
And decorate to Frank Sinatra songs
You'll watch the snow in silence as
You realize this new life you have
Is what you've always wanted all along
My life was like a Fairmont Ford
A compact unibody poured
Into a life that beats on like
The maverick heart that came before

All the way
On the other side of the mountain
There's a place I see
Where no one's incomplete
It's not the life I'm used to
But it's the only one I have
So take this old Fox body
Teach it something new
Like how to share a Fairmont life with you

Just before the New Year, long before the snowman melts
I'll figure out how someone spends a life with someone else
We'll watch our Hallmark movies on our Lawson-style couch
As we're wrapped up in a throw with no one else to think about
Until I ask myself, “What do I buy? How much to spend?”
“They have a sale on drapes, they're in a poly-cotton blend!”
But shopping's not the point this merry season's meant to make
You trust the people in your life will bend with you, not break
And when they're there, you hope they'll stick around for goodness sake
Not simply for the lovely things you offer them to take

Beginning of the holiday, and loneliness at end
The mountains I have made will just recede away and then
I'll tally up the difference with the days of way back when
North Star illuminates a path I'll finally comprehend
