It was the summer I Learned to love politics And Elliott Smith 'cause you did Swinging in the backyard Wind in my hair and words You're playing it cool like a kid But I'm the kind of girl that you write songs about Mystery you can't get out your head before you sleep at night Once in a lifetime You're taking pictures you can't bear to lose Be the artist to my muse I think dying is a beautiful thing to do By your side I bleed on paper so the Fact of the fiction is alive on the page when I'm gone Coming undone in dark corridors We're catching our breath just for a moment And I could waste all of my timе in between the lines 'Causе I'm the kind of girl that you write songs about Mystery you can't get out your head before you sleep at night Once in a lifetime You're taking pictures you can't bear to lose Be the artist to my muse I think dying is a beautiful thing to do By your side Every movement in my rear view And every place in reference to you If nothing else, can I be your regret? Years from now I'm the kind of girl that you write songs about Mystery you can't get out your head before you sleep at night Once in a lifetime You're taking pictures you can't bear to lose Be the artist to my muse I think dying is a beautiful thing to do By your side

I gotta get my girl a present She got one for me She wrapped it up real pretty It's underneath a tree She goes shopping early I go way too late Every year's the same thing I procrastinate It's almost Christmas And I'm the last one in the store It's almost Christmas I can't do this anymore It's almost Christmas I can hear those sleigh bells ring It's almost Christmas and I haven't bought a thing I should buy her fancy earrings Maybe find the right perfume I'm open to suggestions But they better get here soon She goes shopping early I go way too late Every year's the same thing I procrastinate It's almost Christmas And I'm the last one in the store It's almost Christmas I can't do this anymore It's almost Christmas Did I hear a sleigh bell ring? It's almost Christmas and I haven't bought a thing Everything is closing down Not one present have I found Now they're locking up the door I don't know what I'm shopping for It's almost Christmas And I'm the last one in the store It's almost Christmas I can't do this anymore It's almost Christmas Did I hear a sleigh bell ring It's almost Christmas and I haven't bought a thing Almost Christmas (the door will be closing in five minutes) It's almost Christmas (thank you for shopping) Yeah, yeah It's almost Christmas It's almost Christmas

It seems so long since you told me That it was just me and you I wish tonight you could hold me I've got these holiday blues There's folks out shopping for presents Lovers pass by, two by two They're in a world, oh, so pleasant But I've got holiday blues Where will I go It won't be Christmas without you What would I do if you decide we are through? Where will I go It won't be Christmas without you Darling, what will I do if you decide we are through? I had a dream that you love me And that you'd whisper be true But it was only a dream, dear I've got these holiday blues
