Midlife Christmas Songtext
von Switchfoot

The Christmas wreath is on the doorway and the garlands on the wall
Baby Jesus in the manger, Santa′s cookies down the hall
But the hollow in my chest don't feel like Christmas time at all

Welcome to my midlife Christmas

The Grinch and Max out on the lawn inflated proud and tall
And the relatives come knocking with a postcard on the wall
But it feels like these traditions were just built to fail and fall
Welcome to my midlife Christmas

Let it snow
Let it snow man
Letting go of past defenses I′ve been holding
Holding


Unavoidable and tragic
Like Christmas Muzak at the mall
I keep looking for the magic
But these feelings don't resolve
And the grey skies overhead are
Disillusioned and appalled
Welcome to my midlife Christmas
Welcome to my midlife Christmas
Let it snow
Let it snow man
Letting go of past defenses I've been holding

Moonlight fighting headlights
I′m still trying to drive it home
Feeling older but not wiser
Feeling lonely but not alone
And a puzzle piece that′s missing
Is it innocence outgrown
Welcome to my midlife Christmas
