Two months gone by, looks like we threw them both away
A few more white lies, to get us through the day
Overcommitted, but not young enough to fall in line
Now we’re out of time

So we said enough was enough but we didn’t change a thing
This life spent searching for perfection might not lead to anything
Postcards and presents – it turns out they’re all for show
I wish I had known

But I still can’t say I’d have it any other way

It’s gonna be a very, very neutral Christmas for you and me
Can’t you see a very, very neutral Christmas might be the one that we need
Because there’s no need to turn on each other 
When there’s no strong feelings one way or another
It’s a very, very neutral Christmas indeed

So welcome back to indignation
Is this what you wanted?
A couple jokes to break the tension
I think this house is haunted
We laugh it off and sweep it under
I know that you’re tired
So goodnight

Well now that the leaves are golden-brown and red
And scattered across the snowy ground
What’ll it take to bring you ‘round my friend?
Mustn’t the sky be falling down again?

But I still can’t say I’d have it any other way

It’s gonna be a very, very neutral Christmas for you and me
Can’t you see a very, very neutral Christmas might be the one that we need
Because there’s no need to turn on each other 
When there’s no strong feelings one way or another
It’s a very, very neutral Christmas indeed

I said there’s no need to turn on each other 
Because I have no strong feelings one way or another
It’s a very, very neutral Christmas indeed

A Very, Very Neutral Christmas
