My clock keeps ticking
tomorrow’s wicked
but be there
Unpleasant? Highly
The end of time we
must be there
Be there for me
I would have taken a train
very long ago
or would have flown far away
but I couldn’t go
What I want for Christmas is to go away
Take me, lowly in heart friend
With my heavy of heart, now
Far from the ones of simplicity
Keep me away from complicity
Take me away from this
But trusting in you
is good enough for me
Respected? Hardly
Neglected? Partly
just be there
Pathetic? Mainly
With reprobates we
must be there
Be there for me
I could try leaving behind
all my worldly goods
but there’s no reason to try
like I thought I could
How do you have such humility?
When you do so much so well
But since you have the ability
you can take me from this Hell
‘Cause I want to leave this place, just leave
And how I would love to see justice done on it
But just being with you and going away
is good enough for me
My clock’s not busted
I want you trusting
just be there
Distressing? Pressure?
A testing? Yes, sir
but be there
Be there for me
No place to hang up my hat…
That’s one thing I’d leave
in this old broken-down shack
As they look at me
What I want for Christmas is to go away
Take me, lowly in heart friend
With my heavy of heart, now
I will take my chances
And will burn my bridges
What I want for Christmas is to go away
Take me, Lowly In Heart, please
With my heavy of heart, now
But trusting, just like you
is good enough for me
Merry Christmas!
