Lyrics

We're rooftop nights in the middle of July
Cheap red wine and your hand in mine
Say it's nothing, just passing through
But I always circle back to you

Late-night calls when the leaves turn gold
Every "don't" doing what we're told
We fade out, then we reappear
Like a song that doesn't leave your ear

Every season we play it cool
But we both break every rule

But it only gets better at Christmas
Red lights, white snow, can't resist this
One touch and we're right back home
Like we never spent our nights alone
Candy cane hearts, a little reckless
Kiss me once, and then we’re endless
All year long we’re on the fence
But it only gets better at Christmas

Halloween you were dressed in black
Said “don’t call,” but you still came back
Thanksgiving, we almost tried
To be something more than what we’ve had to hide

December’s here and the city glows
The choir sings and the temperature’s low
You pull me close by the evergreen lights
How could this be wrong when it feels so right?

We say “this time we need to let it go”
But we never mean it though

But it only gets better at Christmas
Red lights, white snow, can't resist this
One touch and we're right back home
Like we never spent nights alone
Candy cane hearts, a little reckless
Kiss me once and then we're endless
All year long we're on the fence
But it only gets better at Christmas

Mistletoe hanging over your head
We're saying “careful,” but we lean in instead
Fireplace crackle, your hand finds mine
Like we've been dancing on borrowed time

Yeah it only gets better at Christmas
No rules, no lines when you kiss like this
Cold outside but we're burning up
Like a never-enough kind of love

Golden glow, yeah you pull me in
Same old story we're living in
Round and round but we never miss
How it just gets better at Christmas

Maybe this time we don't let it fade
Keep a little of the magic we made
If we’re this close in the falling snow
Maybe this time…we don't let go
