Lyrics

It's coming on Christmas

Christmas is approaching

They're cutting down trees

Symbolizing environmental impact - deforestation

They're putting up reindeer

Depicts the festive decorations

And singing songs of joy and peace

Highlighting traditional celebration themes

Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

Desire for an escape from current surroundings

But it don't snow here

Indicating absence of snow despite Christmas

It stays pretty green

Describing the landscape's lushness

I'm gonna make a lot of money

Plans to acquire wealth

Then I'm gonna quit this crazy scene

Intent to leave a chaotic environment

I wish I had a river I could skate away on

Reiterating the wish for an escape route


I wish I had a river so long

Desire for a vast and distant river

I would teach my feet to fly

Metaphorically wanting to transcend limitations

Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

Repeated desire for an escape route

I made my baby cry

Regret over causing emotional pain to a loved one


He tried hard to help me

Recognition of someone's effort to assist

You know, he put me at ease

Feeling comforted and at peace due to someone's support

And he loved me so naughty

Describing intense affection

Made me weak in the knees

Feeling physically affected by love

Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

Reiteration of the desire for an escape


I'm so hard to handle

Self-awareness of being difficult to manage

I'm sеlfish and I'm sad

Admitting to selfishness and sadness

Now I've gone and lost the bеst baby

Realization of losing a significant relationship

That I ever had

Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

Continued longing for an escape


I wish I had a river so long

Reiteration of the desire for a distant river

I would teach my feet to fly

Metaphor for a yearning to break free from constraints

Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

Repeated wish for an escape route

I made my baby say goodbye

Regret over the end of a relationship


It's coming on Christmas

Reiteration of Christmas approaching

They're cutting down trees

Repeated mention of tree cutting

They're putting up reindeer

Reiterating festive decorations

And singing songs of joy and peace

Reiteration of joyful holiday songs

I wish I had a river I could skate away on

Final wish for an escape route
