Get Down! 03:27
There's snow on the street, it'll stay there for weeks so my bike's got the creaks, gotta buy me some grease oh there's plenty to eat, so come in have a seat take a load off your feet, oh you're soaked to your knees. The leaves hit the ground and head straight out of town so the snow could get down, yeah get down so come back to town if you're not still around and lose that frown, yeah get down

Go park the car, we don't need it no more we'll stay indoors, oh and we'll be so warm. Let the pipes freeze oh I don't mind, if the power goes out, oh I don't mind, snow piles up, no I don't mind, we've got a fire

Wish 04:22
Wish on a fountain, wish on a tree, how's your family? wish on a snowflake, wish on a trend, you can see your friends. wish on a new star, wish on a squid, you can have a kid. wish on an eyelash, wish on a kiss, have a merry christmas. I got a call when it snowed in Montreal, smells like snow, can't wait til my town decides to snow. I miss my friends, too much snow is the best, call them on the phone, come the frost and they'll be comin' home. Wish on a rabbit, wish on a foot, you can have good looks. wish on a candle, wish on a whale, you can have a tale. wish on a whisker, wish for a spree or a PS3 wish on a clover, wish for yourself, you can have good health if you make a wish and you whisper it in my ear if you trust me, if you believe if you make a wish and you whisper it in my ear if you confess, I'll do my best

this is for everyday that you've been away for the one's who stayed and those that changed and for all the ones who brought you up to set you down well now it's Christmas time and you're on our minds. We're on our way back home. So now the stage is set, and we're comin' out just to see your face and hear your mouth and when all is done and all is said we're your friends now it's Christmas time and you're on our minds. We're on our way back home

Regift 02:37
Got a gift I never wanted, don't want to throw it in the garbage, I was sad but I pretended, just to spare some disappointment. In a box in a closet, wishin' I had simply lost it. A year passed and now I'm given, another chance for giving presents. To regift the same gift. If I throw it in a stocking, won't have to rewrap the wrapping, with a nice enough ribbon, maybe avoid any suspicion. Oh the shame it is a splinter, infected from last winter, and it'll only ever worsen, regifted person to person

If I lived in Switzerland I wouldn't celebrate Christmas, I'd have maypole day. It'd be kinda lame. But it might not be so bad if I had never had home sweet home Christmas. If I lived in Switzerland I wouldn't speak English so well but I'd speak sweet German in sweet conversation and I'd speak French too and I'd tell you joyeux noel. If I lived in Switzerland I'd be totally into science, don't need a reindeer rider, got a hadron collider, got a sweet invention... Geneva convention? Merry christmas. If I lived in Switzerland I'd have happy holidays it'd be so exciting, with festive cheese or something, watches and banks, and army shanks... Merry Christmas.
