When I Get Home for Christmas
Homecoming Love: Snow Patrol's Heartfelt Christmas Reunion
Lyrics
When I get home for Christmas
Anticipation and desire to be home for Christmas.
I'll do anything you want
Expressing willingness to fulfill the desires or requests of a loved one.
I'll wear your clothes like you asked me
Willingness to comply with a specific request to wear the partner's clothes.
All dressed up like a Christmas tree
Imagery of being dressed up festively, comparing oneself to a Christmas tree.
We could spend the day together
Envisioning spending quality time together after a long period of separation.
The first time in a long, long while
Highlighting the rarity of being together after an extended absence.
You can wrap me up in tinsel
Suggesting playfulness by proposing to be wrapped in tinsel.
Make as much noise as you like
Encouraging freedom and enjoyment, allowing noise without restrictions.
When I said that I loved her instead
Reflecting on a moment when the speaker expressed love for someone else.
It's funny how you misunderstand
Acknowledging the potential for misunderstandings in relationships.
I only wanna hold her hand
Clarifying that the speaker's desire is simple, wanting to hold hands.
You're so far from me all year long
Expressing the emotional distance experienced throughout the year.
And I can't seem to right my, right my wrong
Feeling unable to correct or make amends for past mistakes.
When we get home for Christmas
Reiterating the desire to be home for Christmas, emphasizing togetherness.
Pleats on our knees on the floor
Imagery of a cozy scene with pleats on knees, possibly hinting at intimacy.
We'll open presents between kisses
Envisioning sharing moments of joy, represented by opening presents and kisses.
Your eyes burn stronger than the fire
Describing the intensity of the partner's gaze, comparing it to a burning fire.
When I said that I loved her instead
Recalling a previous moment of expressing love for someone else.
It's funny how you misunderstand
Reiterating the potential for misunderstandings in relationships.
I only wanna hold her hand
Emphasizing the simplicity of the speaker's desire to hold hands.
You're so far from me all year long
Highlighting the emotional distance endured throughout the year.
And I can't seem to right my, right my wrong
Expressing the difficulty in correcting or making amends for past mistakes.
