Lyrics The Bad List - Z Berg , Ryan Ross

If it were me I'd write another song
Something in a major key
You and I will always be
The dream
It was a scream when we were young and dumb
Acid on Topanga Beach
In my mind we'll always be
That free
But something changed, along the way
Winter never turned to spring

It's Christmas Eve
You set the house on fire
It's snowing on palm trees
The river has run dry
So let me set you free
Let me help you please
Say goodbye
On Christmas Eve

All the lights are on, but no ones home
How cold are my frozen feet
With nothing lying underneath
The tree
The only soul I knew to telephone
Knows I'm lying through my teeth
We were always thick as thieves
You and me
But something changed, along the way
Winter never turned to spring

It's Christmas Eve
You set the house on fire
It's snowing on palm trees
If you stay you're gonna die
Let me help you please
Let me help you leave
Say goodbye
On Christmas Eve

But there's no bandage
There ain't no ballad
To fix the sadness
So happy christmas
Back on the bad list
I don't want no gifts
Just a first kiss
For the new year
Just a first kiss
To face the new year

If it were me I'd write another song
Say goodbye
