[INTRO · muted synth + bells used as rhythm hits] (I swear I’m not doing this again…) [VERSE 1] They’re hanging lights before Halloween, I roll my eyes — it’s a Christmas thing. Mariah’s back on every screen, It’s too soon for me. Cocoa cups and perfect smiles, Fake snow in the grocery aisles, Everyone’s in that “love me” phase, I’m fine alone these days. [PRE-CHORUS] But then you showed up, laughing loud, Tinsel tangled in your hair somehow, And I hate to say it out loud — [CHORUS] You turned a Scrooge into a fool, Now I’m singing carols too. Didn’t wanna feel that spark, Now it’s lighting up the dark. You’re the ghost I can’t refuse, Past, present, future — all of you. Yeah, I swore I’d had enough — But now this Scrooge is in love. [VERSE 2] I mocked the tree, I trashed the songs, Now I’m humming all night long. I even wore that stupid hat, You smiled — I’ll take the laugh. Candy canes and mistletoe, Who am I? I’ll never know. Guess I caught the Christmas flu, 'Cause all I want is you. [PRE-CHORUS] And now I’m wrapping gifts at two, Writing cards I’ll never do, It’s all your fault — it’s true. [CHORUS] You turned a Scrooge into a fool, Now I’m singing carols too. Didn’t wanna feel that spark, Now it’s lighting up the dark. You’re the ghost I can’t refuse, Past, present, future — all of you. Yeah, I swore I’d had enough — But now this Scrooge is in love. [BRIDGE · half-time, soft vocal build] I used to think December hurt, Cold hearts, fake snow, ugly sweaters. But somehow you made it work — Guess miracles come late sometimes. [FINAL CHORUS · lift + ad-libs + bell shimmer] You turned a Scrooge into a fool, Now I’m dancing under you. Didn’t wanna feel that spark, Now it’s lighting up the dark. You’re the ghost I can’t refuse, You’re the present I never knew. Yeah, I swore I’d had enough — But now this Scrooge is in love. [OUTRO · fade with soft bells] (I guess this Scrooge is in love…)
