About
This Christmas by Summer Braeburn
Lyrics
Verse 1
Woke up this morning, calendar said the twenty-fourth
Brain went blank for a second, then I hit the floor
How did I forget? I had all year to plan
Now I'm in the car with a list that says "anything I can"
Parking lot's a war zone, people fighting over spots
Some guy's already crying in the frozen food aisle
I grab a cart with a busted wheel that only turns one way
Merry Christmas to me, guess we're doing this the hard way
Pre-Chorus
No wrapping paper, no idea what I'm doing
Just pure adrenaline and a little bit of ruining
Somebody's Christmas, probably mine
Chorus
It's Christmas Eve and I'm losing my mind
Running through the store like I'm running out of time
Empty shelves, bad gifts, and a line that won't move
This is what I get for the stuff I didn't do
Batteries not included, sizes all wrong
I'm sweating through my hoodie singing "what have I done?"
It's Christmas Eve and I'm losing my mind
But I'm still gonna make it... I think... maybe...
Verse 2
Found a candle that smells like regret and pine
A puzzle with pieces missing, yeah that'll be fine
Grabbed a gift card with exactly seven dollars left
And a sweater that says "World's Okayest" — it's the best I've got left
Cashier looks at me like she's seen this movie before
I swear I had a plan back in like... October
Now I'm speed-walking to the car with bags that might explode
Praying nothing breaks before I get it all home
Pre-Chorus
No wrapping paper, no idea what I'm doing
Just pure adrenaline and a little bit of ruining
Somebody's Christmas, probably mine
Chorus
It's Christmas Eve and I'm losing my mind
Running through the store like I'm running out of time
Empty shelves, bad gifts, and a line that won't move
This is what I get for the stuff I didn't do
Batteries not included, sizes all wrong
I'm sweating through my hoodie singing "what have I done?"
It's Christmas Eve and I'm losing my mind
But I'm still gonna make it... I think... maybe...
Bridge
Next year I'll be ready!
I'll shop in November!
I won't do this again!
(We both know that's a lie!)
Final Chorus
It's Christmas Eve and I'm losing my mind
Running through the store like I'm running out of time
Empty shelves, bad gifts, and a line that won't move
This is what I get for the stuff I didn't do
Batteries not included, sizes all wrong
I'm sweating through my hoodie singing "what have I done?"
It's Christmas Eve and I'm losing my mind
Merry Christmas — I brought whatever I could find!
Outro - Full band, chaotic energy
Receipt's a mile long!
Something's already broken!
See you next year...
...probably in the same line!
