Bad Holiday

I see it now in white
The whole house covered up
But you weren't inside the night
The basement flooded up to the second floor

It's a sad holiday
Does the snow melt away
And reveal the grass?

It's the warmth of a kiss
Never speaking of it
And it all will pass

But you don't want to see the lights
You don't want the company to see you cry
You're not one to make a fuss
You don't have to come out of the room to us if you don't want

I feel it now, you're right
The whole house buzzing some
But you pretend to sleep and cover your eyes
And I had a gift for you when you're downstairs

It's a bad view from here
It's the people you're near
They're all the same

It's the place you grew up
Do you feel good enough?
A family in a way

But you don't want to see the lights
You don't want the company to see you cry
You're not one to make a fuss
You don't have to come out of the room to us if you don't want to
