Don't kill yourself, it's Christmastime
Leave your worries right on the shelf
Verse 1: 2019
What's a meaningful vote or a daydream when it feels just like the end
You went shopping for sweets on the busiest streets
Then you're kicked in the teeth with a melancholy
Verse 2: 2020
Coronavirus, shit is getting real
It's like you don't know how to love
Have you forgotten how to heal?
And you don't know what's real, when it feels just like any other day
It isn't just like the ones you used to know, is it?
With that in mind, then you might achieve it
