I was running with scissors/ I was playing to win/ I was taking my chances/ oh, where to begin/ I was doing it all/ it was all I could do/ when the curtain came down/ and then there was you/ I pray for guidance, sweet Jesus/ this is why I pray/ I'm all used to this year/ and it's going away
in the book of your life/ I am just a footnote/ someone you once knew/ a long time ago/ I remember everything/ and probably you don't/ I've vanished into dust/ going wherever it may go/ spinning into circles/ forgotten by the wind/ do you remember/ when I used to be your friend
I will not be noticed/ I am just a footnote/ meant to be ignored/ by everyone but me/ all of my words are/ stuck inside my throat/ I am a ghost/ one you'll never see/ invisible as twilight/ in the winter sky above/ do you remember/ when I was someone you loved
(bridge) I am the one/ that you considered baggage/ you are the one/ who caused all the damage
I will be forgotten/ I am just a footnote/ someone who would answer/ when you called my name/ you told me that you cared I guess that was a misquote/ I'm not saying you were wrong/ but you're the one to blame/ guilty as charged/ judge and jury in my mind/ do you remember/ I'm the one you left behind
in your book of life/ I am just a footnote/ someone you once knew/ a long, long time ago
it's too cold to walk/ the heater's up high/ the time has come/ to bid 2020 goodbye/ such an awful year/ it was fucked all the way/ but now it's finally over/ 2021 is on its way/ no more trump/ he makes me so fuckin' mad/ he's the worst damn president/ that we've ever had/ but put that aside/ and be of good cheer/ with him out of office/ it will be a good year
thermostat trembles/ heater goes on/ big snow is falling/ out on the front lawn/ the sun's setting early/ hot cocoa, not beer/ everything's saying/ winter is here
the trees have no leaves/ dark clouds surround me/ visions of December/ gather around me/ like children full of/ holiday cheer/ 'tis the season, folks/ winter is here
(bridge) pull up the blankets/ put on the tea/ are you ready for/ the Christmas tree
jackets and parkas/ wool hat and gloves/ songs of merriment/ peace, joy and love/ Santa is cruising/ the atmosphere/ everything's saying/ winter is here
I wish I was young again/ but with a completely different childhood/ maybe I would have turned out better/ then again, maybe not/ I wish I was young again/ at an Ivy League college/ with a future right in front of me/ that daddy's money would have bought/ maybe, then, I'd be successful/ instead of being who I am/ why does the world insist/ I have to be my own man
outside the rain is pounding hard/ there's an ocean in your own back yard/ I hope you know where your children are/ it's coming down/ reminds me when I was a child/ I never really learned to smile/ I let some oneelse change the dial/ I'm leaving town
(bridge) remember when I was innocent/ before everything went wrong/ I don't think it's a coincidence/ that I knew you all along
it's Christmas Eve and I'm alone/ stranded by the telephone/ wishing I could go back home/ where I spent my childhood days/ everything was better then/ a stranger could turn into a friend/ I don't know why it had to end/ I need to find a way/ to bring some light into this heart of mine/ to remind me of the ones left behind/ I need to find some way to believe/ in the world again/ it's Christmas Eve
in my dreams/ there are presents to wrap/ cookies to bake/ and people to spend the day with/ in my life/ there are bills to pay/ with money I don't have/ sometimes I think/ Christmas Day is a myth/ but I know it's real/ it's in the way I feel/ if the fates allow/ I'm wishing you/ a merry Christmas/ in the here and now
in the book of your life/ I am just a footnote/ someone you once knew/ a long time ago/ I remember everything/ and you probably don't/ I've vanished into dust/ going wherever it may go/ spinning into circles/ forgotten by the wind/ hey, do you remember/ when I used to be your friend
I will not be noticed/ I am just a footnote/ meant to be ignored/ by everyone but me/ all of my words are/ stuck inside my throat/ I am like a ghost/ one you'll never see/ invisible as twilight/ dark blue up above/ hey, do you remember/ when I was someone you loved

headphones on/ music's ready/ some of this stuff/ sounds like spaghetti/ but you still can sing along/ if you try/ headphones on/ now it's time/ for singers who gargle with/ turpentine/ but you can still sing along/ I'll tell you why/ the main part of music's joys/ is simply making a lot of noise/ like any healthy girl or boy/ at a fast food restaurant/ headphones on/ music's ready/ you can sing along/ if you want
fear/ is my constant companion/ I try to abandon it/ but it won't go/ fear/ keeps me a prisoner/ I see no reason here/ nothing I need to know/ but you/ tell me I can be brave/ but I cannot save/ myself any longer/ no matter where I hide/ the pain I hold inside/ is stronger/ than I will ever be/ but I still can see/ that I belong here
love/ is a trespassing stranger/ I can sense the danger/ from where I stand/ love/ may not exist for me/ as far as i can see/ it's not part of the plan/ but you/ follow me into the night/ you believe I could be right/ you believe in me/ and you/ see who I am/ you understand/ the world that I see/ and that I am trying/ there's no denying/ that I belong here
hope/ is all I've ever known/ it's my way back home/ when trouble surrounds me/ hope/ is all I've ever had/ it doesn't treat me half as bad/ as the world around me/ but you/ you tell me about courage/ even though I'm discouraged/ in this game of living/ I hope before I pass/ I'll find peace at last/ my sins self-forgiven/ because no matter what I do/ when I look at you/ I know/ I belong here/ I belong here
the sky is gray and silver/ and the rain falls down like tears/ Christmas time is coming/ and I am staying here/ in this ol' apartment/ where I spend every night/ but this night, it is special/ it is the season of light
my family, they are scattered/ and I am all alone/ still, it feels cheerful/ to spend Christmas here at home/ I know I could feel lonesome/ but instead I'm feeling right/ I look at snow through the window/ welcome to the season of light
if you ever get to New Orleans/ call me up on the phone/ I don't like to talk to anyone/ but, to you, I'm always home/ since you've gone, it's so damn quiet/ I don't like it very much/ I miss your northern way of talking/ all night long, I miss your touch/ you can tell me what it means/ if you ever get to New Orleans
I'm in my work clothes/ I am ready for the day/ chores and possibilities/ come take me away/ I know what I'm doing/ I'm responsible as hell/ there's nothing I can't do/ and I do it so well/
I've got my liscense/ for whatever you need/ your rules and instructions/ are my own to heed/ I know what I'm doing/ you got something I want/ the desire and fury/ of a Texas debutante
it's time to roll up my sleeves and get to work/ it's the only way I will conquer this hurt/ wake up in the morning, walk the dog/ pour a cup of coffee/ in your special mug/ now the day's begun/ you're mister number one/ time for up and at 'em/ go and please the folks/ laugh at all their stupid jokes/ every sir and madam/ there stands adventure beyond your dreams/ but first you gotta/ roll ups your sleeves

I am always waiting/ for something new/ I noticed your face/ could it be you/ I am always waiting/ for life to come take me/ but it always escapes me/ no matter what I do/ but maybe if you/ show me some attention/ I'll take my affection/ for you to keep/ yeah, maybe if you/ show me a reaction/ I'll see satisfaction/ on your face when you sleep
there is no end to my love for you/ when I'm gone, you'll know what to do/ I hope you remember/ how you made me smile/ I hope your memory is as long/ as a country mile/ without your love, I would not make it through/ thank you
how can I tell you what you mean to me/ I wish it was like it used to be/ but that doesn't erase/ the joy that we once had/ I'm so grateful/ that the good outweighed the bad/ had you not been there/ I wouldn't have known what to do/ thank you
