Matthew McLaughlin - Holiday Lyrics

Little leaves did you know?
That the wind when it blows
It blows a cruel kind of air
It shakes you from your tree
And off to somewhere you don't want to go
So far from what you call home
It's a wonder
You've not gone under

You and me, we're the same
We took a fall and changed our shade
And now we're out of control
Slave to where the wind decides to blow
I don't want to know
How far this charade will go
It's a wonder
We've not gone under

Feeling exposed
I'm feeling like I have imposed
It's no wonder
Man, It's no wonder

When your family's deranged
And the townsfolk think you're strange
It's time to spirit away
Shuffle off to someone's brighter day
I'm about to go
How it figures that it would snow
It's a wonder
I've not gone under

It's a cold Christmas day
But the snow just turned to rain
I'll fly away, holiday
Plan to spend the New Year in Santa Fe
Got a lot to gloat
New friends that I'll get to know
They got my number
And that's no wonder

Feeling exposed
I'm feeling like I have imposed
It's no wonder
Man, it's no wonder

That you would be there
You would be there
You would be there in my mind

Persimmon kisses
I start to miss it
Feelings growing too unkind

To make this easy
I'll grab my bags
I'm leaving everyone behind

See me waving bye, bye, bye, bye

If I could be there
Then I'd be there
Then I'd be there in your heart

But I'm a mess
And I am so anxious
Always stall before I start

I'm learning nothing
Learning nothing
Learning nothing but falling apart

The leaves and wind are really all I've got
