holiday movie - the small calamities lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
opening scene: there are cups on the table, and music bleeds out of a sh-tty tv
you lie on the couch wrapped in pieces of starlight, impossibly glowing—an omen that i couldn’t see

[verse 2]
slowly we fade to a day in the tropics, the sound of your voice singing soft through the wires
your words tumble out and stand still for a decade; my answer still rings somewhere deep in the back of my head

[chorus 1]
it’s that time of year where dreams start falling down
and all you had to do was try not to jump
tattered mistletoe; the movie stops
but we all know how it ends, and we watch it anyway
it’s just that time of year

[verse 3]
view of the world from the back of a towncar: our heroes are safe from the worst of the storm
a lingering shot of your face in the doorway—a silence that said so much more than our words ever could

[verse 4]
flash forward to summer; we run down the street as we shine in dystopian spurs of the night
you ask me to stay and i run through the alley; in hindsight, the single most pivotal scene of our lives

[verse 5]
fly overhead as we hike down the mountain; i tell you the truth and you stare at the ground
now you’re sitting in thought as i sleep on the airplane… the credits begin as we move from the gates to real life

[chorus 2]
it’s that time of year where dreams start falling down
and all i had to do was know what i want
shattered ornaments; the movie stops
but we all know how it ends, and we watch it anyway
it’s just that time of year

[coda]
you say you want to stay the same
i wish that i could say that too…
the curtain’s closed, the countdown’s done
it’s clichés and carols, or it’s frozen homes
it’s designer heartache ’til you’re all alone
it’s a bedtime story, but the darker german kind
and we could start all over but we all know how it ends
