Even Just On Christmas
A Christmas Yearning: Embracing Love and Acceptance
Lyrics
You make me feel some type of way
You evoke a unique emotion in me.
Maybe this Christmas we can say what we wanna say
Suggesting the desire to express true feelings this Christmas.
You make me smile please stay for a while
Your presence brings joy; please stay with me.
I was just thinking
Engaged in contemplation.
My family’s out here drinking and I feel so alone
Feeling isolated while family celebrates.
I'm talking to some friends but, I don’t feel like i belong
Struggling to connect with friends, feeling out of place.
So maybe if you can meet me for while just outside
Requesting a meeting outside to improve Christmas.
Then my Christmas might be better with just You and I
Hoping for a better Christmas with the person addressed.
Oh, under the mistletoe
Reference to a romantic setting under the mistletoe.
Tell me what you feel, kiss me if it’s real
Inviting honesty and a real kiss.
No i'm not complaining bout everything I have
Expressing contentment but seeking love on Christmas.
I just wanna feel loved even just on Christmas
Yearning for love, even a small gesture on Christmas.
We’re sitting round this Christmas tree, exchanging these gifts
Surrounded by gift exchanges, desiring emotional support.
But the gift that I want is for someone to tell me that
Expressing a wish for reassurance and understanding.
"Jo it’s okay, your mom will listen someday"
Hoping for encouragement regarding a family matter.
But i’m still her daughter can she please just consider?
Stressing the need for familial acceptance.
Everyone’s gathering around, with someone to hold
Observing others with companions, feeling alone.
But my someone is waiting outside, getting through the cold
Describing someone special waiting outside in the cold.
I can’t let her in cos we cant be in the open
Constrained from openly welcoming the special person.
But maybe just maybe next Christmas we can
Hopeful for openness and acceptance next Christmas.
Oh, I wish I could bring her, so mom can finally meet her
Expressing a desire for family introduction.
But I know that I can’t so i’ll pretend that it’s Christmas everyday
Choosing to pretend it's Christmas daily for emotional comfort.
And i’ll wish that one day that she’ll like her
Wishing for eventual acceptance by the family.
But i’ll just forget what i wanna say
Choosing to withhold true feelings.
Cos maybe next Christmas
Anticipating a more accepting Christmas in the future.
She’ll love me as I am
Hopeful for unconditional love based on self-acceptance.
