"Christmas lights flicker like they miss you too…" [VERSE 1] I walked into the living room, the fire burned low, Your stocking’s still hanging where you left it years ago. The mistletoe is waiting in the doorway like a lie, And I swear I see your shadow when the snow blows by. [PRE-CHORUS] You used to catch me underneath that little green wreath, Cold hands, warm lips, stealing all the breath from me. Now there’s nothing but the echo of the love I lost— I’m talking to a memory, I’m paying for the cost… [CHORUS] There’s a mistletoe ghost standing right where you used to be, Every Christmas light feels dimmer without your memory. I reach out— but you fade with the falling snow… Baby, you’re gone, but the mistletoe won’t let you go. [VERSE 2] I found the photos that we took on Christmas Eve, You laughed at my sweater, said you'd never really leave. Now I'm staring at the doorway like it’s holding back the truth, And I swear the ghost of you is whispering the proof. [PRE-CHORUS] You always pulled me under, caught me in your holiday spell, But pride is just a prison and it keeps me here in hell. Now the only thing that’s real is this hollow winter ache— I see you in the shadows that the firelight makes… [CHORUS] There’s a mistletoe ghost standing right where you used to be, Every Christmas light feels dimmer without your memory. I reach out— but you fade with the falling snow… Baby, you’re gone, but the mistletoe won’t let you go. [BRIDGE] If you ever hear me calling through the midnight cold, Know I’d trade a thousand Christmases to have your hand to hold. I’m speaking to the silence, but I swear it answers back— A promise on the snow: I’d fix every thing we lacked… [FINAL CHORUS] There’s a mistletoe ghost standing right where you used to be, Every Christmas wish feels empty without your memory. I reach out— but you fade with the falling snow… If you ever find your way back home, I’ll be waiting under the mistletoe. “Come home…”
