May all your troubles soon be gone Oh, Christmas lights, keep shinin' on

Favorite: Holiday
Artist: Coldplay
Song of the day: Christmas lights

I don't really mean to always do what my sister tells me to but she tends to just have this power over me...and that power is usually her good taste. With only a few songs left in my blog I wasn't going to focus too much on christmas songs, but seeing as it is my fav holiday it is difficult to resist. Even more difficult when Coldplay writes such a great holiday song, it's exactly how I'm feeling, and my sister tells me to post it. But as I'm spending the holidays in the library trying not to stress about taking a test that determines my future and keeps being described as the "most important test of my life" the chirsmas spirit seems to be sucked right out of my soul and as I'm waiting for this impending snow to fall, it doesn't really feel like christmas at all. I actually keep forgetting it's christmas. But even if i'm fortified in my own humbug reality, it's hard to escape the magic of the holiday just around the corner. Just walking into a store full of christmas music, the streets lined with decorations, a church merrily celebrating advent, and the lights at night. When the lights turn on tends to ignite the christmas spirit in me and has always been my favorite activity (minus eating mexican food for christmas eve) during the holidays. Candle light service and looking at christmas lights on all the houses carries that unspeakable magic and joy from childhood. May you find the holiday joy in your own christmas lights, or coldplays.


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
Trying to 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 holdin' on
To all those chandeliers of hope

Like some drunken Elvis singin'
I go singin' out of tune
Sayin' how I always loved you, darlin'
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 shinin' on

Those Christmas lights light up the street
Maybe they'll bring her back to me
And then all my troubles will be gone
Oh, Christmas lights, keep shinin' on

Oh, Christmas lights, light up the street
Light up the fireworks in me
May all your troubles soon be gone
Those Christmas lights keep shinin' on
