Lyric

In a worn-out tattered blanket

Messy bedroom filled with junk

I wake up way too late, still drunk

I stare out of the window

As I try to sober up

I pour some coffee into an old cracked cup

Where did I go wrong?

Am I an exercise in idleness?

Don't do much, and all year, I feel so meaningless

Does the world even need me?

I ask myself every day

But just for tonight…

Gonna bring out the good man just for tonight

Surely God will forgive me 'cause its his holy night

So I'll put on my red suit, get the reindeer all in line

Get the elves to make the presents

For a holiday that's both yours and mine

I can't say that I

Can make these changes stick

I ain't a saint

So please just call me Nick

And I don't try to rationalize

Or blame others or resist

To be honest, I'd make

My own naughty list

I'm a fraud

And a phony and a liar, I confess

But a lie can become the truth if you stick to it, I guess

I hope that's true, because I have just one day to repent

Just here at the end of Advent

Gonna bring out the good man just for tonight

Surely God will forgive me 'cause its his holy night

So I'll put on my red suit, get the reindeer all in line

Get the elves to make the presents

For a holiday that's both yours and mine

Gonna bring out the good man just for tonight

Surely God will forgive me 'cause its his holy night

The day is coming again this year, it's time to make it right

Maybe someday, I can keep the change longer than a night

I will use all of my magic to make the season bright

Now I will bring hopes and smiles

The one and only day when I am in the light
