Gold Digga - The Unfinished

A quiet Christmas scene wrapped in static and snowfall, where love, arguments, and the weight of the year all blur together. Snow Keeps Falling Anyway drifts through the small moments that make the holidays both beautiful and unbearable: barking dogs outside, a half-empty bottle of gin, relatives we hardly see, and the silence that lingers after every fight.

Wishing everyone a peaceful, messy, beautiful Christmas 2025, hold your people close, even when it snows. 🎄✨

The tree’s half lit, the lights keep flickering,
You’re in the kitchen, quietly simmering,
Over words I shouldn’t have said,
Over ghosts we thought were dead.

Your mother’s laugh echoes down the hall,
Relatives we hardly see at all,
Talk about the year that’s gone,
Like nothing’s ever wrong.

Snow keeps falling anyway,
Covers all the things we’ll never say,
The dogs are barking down the street,
And the silence in here feels so complete.
Pass me that bottle of gin,
Let’s toast to what could’ve been,
Love’s a fight we both still play,
And snow keeps falling anyway.

We argue about who forgot to call,
While the tinsel droops and the needles fall,
I see the hurt behind your grin,
Another year, another sin.

Your brother’s talking politics again,
I fake a smile, you roll your eyes at him,
Outside it’s white, inside it’s gray,
But we’ll survive another day.

Snow keeps falling anyway,
Covers all the things we’ll never say,
The dogs are barking down the street,
And the silence in here feels so complete.
Pass me that bottle of gin,
Let’s toast to what could’ve been,
Love’s a fight we both still play,
And snow keeps falling anyway.

And maybe by the time the lights go out,
We’ll forget what this was all about,
Hold each other just to stay warm,
Two ghosts in a Christmas storm.

Snow keeps falling anyway,
Covers love that couldn’t stay,
The dogs still bark, the night won’t end,
Another year begins again.
Pass me that bottle of gin,
Let’s toast to what might’ve been,
We’ll laugh, we’ll fight, we’ll fade away,
While snow keeps falling anyway.
