Lyrics
Beneath apocalyptic snowflakes from above
We're not in peril, we are in apoca-love
So let's go walking or Christmas shopping
No, let's do something a bit more shocking
Let's go to the windmill, let's find some catharsis
Let's go to the graveyard and cover up darkness
And it's okay, I've done this tons of times
Well maybe once a year sine I was very young
But we'll be fine, okay, I do this all the time
And nothing could go wrong unless that's what you'd like
Is this the first time that you've ever seen
Aurora borealis crush mankind?
The wind chimes chiming with the screams
A pretty winter night your hand in mine
The horizon is afog
With the breath of everyone
And I hope you're having fun
I just had to share with someone
This is the empty building that I call my home
Baby it's cold inside, don't leave me here alone
There's no good movie but there's a fire
Well, scented candles that are on fire
So let's take the night off, be joyful and joyously
Enjoy the moonrise and let it destroy us
See, it's okay as long as we believe
We'll be okay, as if anything could go wrong on Christmas Eve
Okay, you know I'm glad you're here
So I can show you this before I disappear
Is this the first time that you've ever seen
Aurora borealis crush mankind?
A flashlight underneath my chin
A pretty winter night your hand in mine
Now we're swallowed by the fog
From the breath of everyone
I can barely see you now
But your smile is a frown
Yeah, I knew it had to stop
'Cause I always mess it up
And I get it if you run
I just had to share with someone
Trivia
