Lyrics
It never snows in LA
Comment on the rarity of snow in Los Angeles.
You'd never know it was a holiday
Not much festive atmosphere in LA.
I don't believe that Jesus Christ was born to save me
Expressing skepticism about the religious narrative.
That's an awful lot of pressure for a baby
Questioning the expectations placed on a baby (possibly referring to Jesus).
But here we are again, with family or friends
Celebrating time with loved ones during the holidays.
Some extra time to spend and I'm not mad about it
Positive attitude towards spending time with family or friends.
Don't waste a dime on me, just want your company
Emphasizing the value of companionship over material gifts.
Beside a Christmas tree, if the dog allows it
Desiring to be with loved ones by the Christmas tree, with a playful mention of a dog.
Hurry home, please, I don't belong without you
Expressing longing for a loved one to come home.
Your ice-cold feet, write all my songs about you
Symbolizing the significance of the partner through a detail (ice-cold feet).
I love you more and more each day
Declaring a growing love each day.
Can't find poetic ways to say
Difficulty expressing deep emotions in a poetic way.
"I hope it lasts another year"
Expressing a wish for the current state of love to continue for another year.
Don't have a clue where I'll be
Uncertainty about the future but a commitment to being with a loved one on New Year's Eve.
Except for next to you on New Year's Eve
Specific commitment to being with the partner on New Year's Eve.
I don't believe a resolution's gonna change me
Skepticism about the effectiveness of New Year's resolutions.
That's an awful lot of bullshit, ain't it, baby?
Critical view of resolutions as empty promises.
But here we are tonight, drunk by the firelight
Describing a scene of togetherness and warmth by the fire.
The future could be bright, though no one's sure about it
Optimistic outlook on the future despite uncertainties.
And if the ending's sad, at least these time's we've had
Acknowledging the possibility of a sad ending but valuing the positive experiences.
The good outweighs the bad, you wouldn't know without it
Highlighting the overall positivity outweighing the negative aspects.
Hurry home, please, I don't belong without you
Reiteration of the longing for the partner to come home.
Your ice-cold, feet write all my songs about you
Continued emphasis on the partner's significance in songwriting.
I love you more and more each day
Reaffirmation of growing love each day.
Can't find poetic ways to say
Expressing difficulty finding poetic ways to convey deep emotions.
"I hope it lasts another year"
Repeating the wish for the current love to last another year.
