When Everything Breaks

Описание: When Everything Breaks (Copyright Jason Kilhoffer)

Baby, you’re laughin’ on the sofa while I’m climbin’ up that roof
Tryin’ to hang a thousand lights to prove my Christmas heart to you
Down below the doorway’s crowded with folks I barely know
And a squirrel’s in the tree again, but we don’t let it steal the show

Every glitch, every spark, every blown-out fuse
Just pulls you close like I got nothin’ left to lose

'Cause we shine the brightest when everything breaks
When the dinner burns down and the whole house shakes
Through the chaos and the noise and the mess we make
Baby, love lights up the winter when everything breaks

Someone showed up in the driveway dressed like they forgot it’s cold
Sayin’ he’s stayin’ through December, tellin’ stories never told
The cat’s chewin’ through the tinsel, someone’s spillin’ grandma’s punch
And the oven gave up tryin’, so we’re callin’ cookies lunch

But you grab my hand in the middle of the storm
And your smile keeps the wildest night warm

'Cause we shine the brightest when everything breaks
When the dinner burns down and the whole house shakes
Through the chaos and the noise and the mess we make
Baby, love lights up the winter when everything breaks

Let the lights short out, let the breakers blow
Let the dog chase the mailman through the drifts of snow
Let the whole world laugh at the things we can’t control
'Cause you’re the only part of Christmas that steadies my soul

Yeah, we shine the brightest when everything breaks
When the storm rolls in and the whole sky shakes
Through the chaos and the noise and the mess we make
Baby, love burns warm and steady
When everything breaks
