  • Christmas night, another fight
    Tears, we cried a flood
    Got all kinds of poison in
    Of poison in my blood
    I took my feet
    To Oxford Street
    Tryna right a wrong
    Just walk away
    Those windows say
    But I can't believe she's gone

    When you're still waiting for the snow to fall
    Doesn't really feel like Christmas at all

    Up above candles on air flicker
    Oh, they flicker and they float
    And I'm up here holding on
    To all those chandeliers of hope
    Like some drunken Elvis singing
    I go singing out of tune
    Saying how I always loved you, darling
    And I always will

    Oh, when you're still waiting for the snow to fall
    It doesn't really feel like Christmas at all
    Still waiting for the snow to fall
    It doesn't really feel like Christmas at all

    Those Christmas lights
    Light up the street
    Down where the sea and city meet
    May all your troubles soon be gone
    Oh, Christmas lights, keep shining on

    Those Christmas lights
    Light up the street
    Maybe they'll bring her back to me
    Then all my troubles will be gone
    Oh, Christmas lights, keep shining on

    Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

    Oh, Christmas lights
    Light up the street
    Light up the fireworks in me
    May all your troubles soon be gone
    Those Christmas lights, keep shining on Writer/s: Christopher Martin, Guy Berryman, Jonathan Buckland, William Champion
