Splitting Up Christmas Lyrics - Kevin Devine

So what if it's freezing? I'm awake and I'm happy 

The sun's steepling its shards on my floor 

I drag my feet to the shower and I hear someone singing 

I keep the lights off while the water gets warm 

Now I knot up my tie and toss books in a schoolbag 

They keep my priorities straight 

So I can sleepwalk through work like an outpatient program 

I don't buy but get through anyway 

And at some point I'll call you and tell you I miss you 

And you are the point of my day 

And my face will get flushed and my throat will choke up 

When you tell me that you feel the same 

So I have been thinking of splitting up Christmas 

To see everyone I'd like to see 

And you're first on that list, you're the lotto I hit 

You're the star at the top of the tree 

You're the star at the top of the tree 

So I have been thinking of splitting up Christmas 

To see everyone I'd like to see 

And you're first on that list, you're the lotto I hit 

You're the star at the top of the tree 

And I have been feeling this good for a reason 

My friends and my family, yeah, you all are my backbone 

Keep me balanced and settled 

And I'm in debt to you all endlessly, yeah 

I'm in debt to you all endlessly 

So tonight I will call you and try to say thank you 

For being the sun on my face 

I know the world's almost over but you make it seem better 

And I hope for you I do the same
