Lyrics
<poem>
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
