Under Christmas Lights

[Intro] [soft] Snow on the window, half past ten Your old scarf still smells the same [Verse 1] Every year they hang the same string of light Down the road where we learned to say goodnight I kept your coat on the hook by the door Just in case the winter brings you back once more [Pre-Chorus] [build-up] And the frost writes your name across the glass Every December pulling me back [Drop] [Chorus] [belted] Meet me where the streetlamps glow Under all the falling snow I will always know your face In the crowd, in the cold, in the same old place Meet me when the world goes still Down that hill, I always will No matter how the years go by We find each other under winter skies [Verse 2] Ten winters gone and the town looks the same Same cracked bell that never quite gets the name I trace the frost like a map to your hand You told me once you would come back, and you can [Pre-Chorus] [build-up] And the church clock counts the hours slow Somewhere in the dark you're heading home [Drop] [Chorus] [belted] Meet me where the streetlamps glow Under all the falling snow I will always know your face In the crowd, in the cold, in the same old place Meet me when the world goes still Down that hill, I always will No matter how the years go by We find each other under winter skies [Bridge] [whispered] If the snow keeps every promise white Then I'll keep mine, keep mine [build-up] Turn around — you were beside me all this time [Breakdown] [soft] The lights come on, the street holds its breath And there you are, coat still on [Drop] [Chorus] [loud] Meet me where the streetlamps glow Under all the falling snow I will always know your face In the crowd, in the cold, in the same old place [Outro] [fade-out] Down that hill, I always will Down that hill, I always will
