Tis The Season
Tis The Season: Nostalgic Reflections and Heartfelt Connections
Lyrics
December knocks it's hand again
December has arrived once again
And it's colder than it was
The weather is colder than before
But I guess that's it the season
Acknowledging that it's the holiday season
Time begins to stagger on
Time is moving forward
And I'll see you just because
Meeting with you for no specific reason
But I'm glad to have a reason
Finding joy in having a purpose
Should be easy but it's not
Despite expectations, it's not easy
I just wanna see you smile
Desiring to witness your happiness
Wanna ask if you're okay
Expressing concern about your well-being
I can tell you've grown a lot
Observing personal growth in you
You can tell it's been awhile
Recognizing that it's been a while
But there's nothing else to say
Feeling a lack of words to convey
Tis the season to be asking
Embracing the tradition of asking
Why can't I tell if you're happy
Questioning the difficulty of gauging happiness
Miss the laughter, joy, and wonder
Nostalgic for past laughter, joy, and wonder
That we had felt when we were younger
Recalling the innocence of youth
I know it's not the same and it can't be
Acknowledging the changed reality
But I'm glad to be here
Expressing gratitude for being together
Underneath the tree
Sharing a moment beneath the holiday tree
Tis the season to be
Continuing the festive atmosphere
Gather round and say some words
Gathering around to exchange words
Spill some coffee on your shirt
Humorous reference to spilled coffee
Sad to see you getting older
Sadness witnessing aging
Lost the ones we love the most
Remembering lost loved ones
Now it feels
Feeling a sense of distance
We aren't as close
Not as emotionally close as before
But I'll still offer you my shoulders
Offering support despite the emotional gap
I keep on feeling maybe I'm
Questioning personal effectiveness in healing
Bad at healing cause I'm torn
Feeling torn and uncertain
Maybe I just shouldn't start
Contemplating the difficulty of starting anew
It isn't easier with time
Recognizing that time doesn't make it easier
And so it seems that we ignore
Choosing to ignore the heart's missing pieces
The missing pieces of our hearts
Reflecting on emotional gaps
Tis the season to be asking
Reiterating the tradition of asking
Why can't I tell if you're happy
Expressing difficulty in discerning happiness
Miss the laughter, joy, and wonder
Nostalgia for past joy and wonder
That we had felt when we were younger
Recapturing the emotions of youth
I know it's not the same and it can't be
Acknowledging the unchangeable past
But I'm glad to be here
Grateful for the present moment
Underneath the tree
Sharing a moment beneath the holiday tree
Tis the season to be
Continuing the festive atmosphere
Tis the season to be asking
Reiterating the tradition of asking
Why can't I tell if you're happy
Expressing difficulty in discerning happiness
Miss the laughter, joy, and wonder
Nostalgia for past joy and wonder
That we had felt when we were younger
Recapturing the emotions of youth
No
A moment of contemplation
It's not the same and it can't be
Acknowledging the unchangeable past
But I'm glad to be here
Grateful for the present moment
Underneath the tree
Sharing a moment beneath the holiday tree
Tis the season
Continuing the festive atmosphere
