Lyrics
So familiar, yet so strange Welcome to a land time forgot There are some things we can change But mostly there are things we cannot

I don't know where I belong I don't know where I went wrong Somehow we got our wires crossed All I know is that you're gone Though the road just carries on Inside I know that I am lost

All I want for Christmas The same thing every year To wake up with you beside me Wrap my arms around, and hold you near

I know I've been here before Everything's exactly as it was But everything is different And I feel like a stranger now because

So much time has come and gone Though the days just carry on Somehow I have turned into a ghost I haunt the rooms where you belong But you're not there and I'm all wrong How could I have lost what I needed most

All I want for Christmas The same thing every year To wake up with you beside me Wrap my arms around, and hold you near

Where've you got to Where'd you go Where've you got to Where'd you go

So familiar, yet so strange Welcome to a land time forgot There are some things we can change But mostly there are things we cannot

All I want for Christmas The same thing every year To wake up with you beside me Wrap my arms around, and hold you near
