A New Found Glory - THE CHRISTMAS SONG (CHESTNUTS ROASTING ON AN OPEN lyrics

Send it out to the boy in the front row,

Singing his heart out.

I've been there before,

Elbow to elbow,

Lost in a crowd of screams.

He dreams and knows,

They'll steal every word straight from your mouth.

Dare you to breathe, we'll dare you to drown.

It's over, just wake me when it's over.

I will thank you for hanging around this town.

It's a long way back home from here.

Just tell me what you want,

'Cause I'm over and out.

But I'm not done,

Overreacting, 'cause I'm not acting like I'm somebody else.

'Cause that's not me.

Oh, no.

Back it up to three long years ago,

To a little town in north Jersey.

I was a teenager back then,

Dreaming of a big dream- to make it.

Put your hands on my heart.

Come on, put your faith in me.

Lay your life on the line and just believe.

It's a long way back home from here.

Just tell me what you want,

'Cause I'm over and out.

But I'm not done,

Overreacting, 'cause I'm not acting like I'm somebody else.

This is my inspiration.

Yeah, I'll never meet your expectations coming down on me.

Still I'm not giving in, no.

It's getting hard to breathe.

Under pressure I'm living.

I'm ready to be.

(Not turning back around, around, around.)

We only get one chance,

One true shot to make it.

Hold the wind in your sails and take it,

For a ride you can't turn back the time.

Hold on tight.

We'll make it now. (We'll make it now.)

It's a long way back home from here.

Just tell me what you want,

'Cause I'm over and out.

But I'm not done,

Overreacting.
