Strum
D-DU-UDU
We  all wait for the snow to fall
 And I hate  this time of year because it kills us all but we
Run  around like kids on the loose
 Chasing dreams  like the babies play duck,  duck, goose and I
Wait  by the window cause she said she would call
 And when you finally  do I watch the words fall out of
My  mouth and stick to my shirt
 The summer's  always lovely but the winters  always hurt
 And maybe  next year you could find me somewhere  in the dirt
Who  could forget, it was almost 2003
 We kissed under  your Christmas tree
 While your parents were asleep
 I was 15  on top of the world
 I was 15  and you  were my girl
 And all  I'm saying is for Christmas this year I would kinda like to see  you
Happy  holidays, let's hope for the best
 And I'll try  to ignore the feeling that I get in my chest when I
Think  about all the time that we missed
 Being caught  up growing up and acting selfish  and pissed but I
Wait  by the airport cause you said you'd come home
 And by now  my hands are glued to my phone as you
Walk  on a plane to fly home from LA
 I'm missing  you on Christmas in the worst  kind of way
 And maybe  next time it won't be so easy  for you to stray
Who  could forget, it was almost 2003
 We kissed under  your Christmas tree
 While your parents were asleep
 I was 15  on top of the world
 I was 15  and you  were my girl
 And all  I'm saying is for Christmas this year I would kinda like to see  you
