lyrics

it's the first time in forever you put the angel on the tree
i've been gone for a while, we've all been pretty busy
i've been feeling some residual guilt, i put some time between the shame
i've been growing up but only in age
each year i've been staying the same
i don't know if i'm scared of commitments, or my own sad sack predictions
i just know i'd rather wind up alone than find myself with
distance laying silent in my bed, or eating at my kids
it's just too big a risk, you always say i'm too complacent

i should want to love eternally

i don't think i'll have a tree in an apartment i keep just for me
i'll put the angel on yours forever
it feels like something that's bigger than me
