Best Part of the Season

Verse

Twelve dollar tree with the lights half strung

Still get the tinsel wrapped around my thumb

Box of old records, needle finds the groove

Same three songs but I still know the moves

Snow's coming down like it's got somewhere to be

I'm just standing here holding on to what I need

Pre-Chorus

Every year it slips a little faster

Can I bottle up the after

Before the tree comes down and the year turns cold?

Chorus

I'm keeping this, I'm keeping this

The cinnamon, the porch light kiss

The reason that I still believe in

Holding on to the best part of the season

Won't let it go, won't let it fade

I'm dancing in the cold I made

Got my coat on, got my proof

Nothing's leaving me, not you, not truth

Verse

Grandma's china out, we use it once a year

Cousins arguing over who sits here

I burned the rolls but nobody seems to mind

We're louder now to leave the quiet behind

Streetlights flicker gold on the frozen ground

I'm not asking why, I'm just holding what I found

Pre-Chorus

Every year it slips a little faster

Can I bottle up the after

Before the tree comes down and the year turns cold?

Chorus

I'm keeping this, I'm keeping this

The cinnamon, the porch light kiss

The reason that I still believe in

Holding on to the best part of the season

Won't let it go, won't let it fade

I'm dancing in the cold I made

Got my coat on, got my proof

Nothing's leaving me, not you, not truth

Bridge

Come January, the boxes go back in the attic

Silence hits the hallway, static

But I keep a spark behind my ribs all year

So when December calls again, I'm already here

I'm already here

Chorus

I'm keeping this, I'm keeping this

The cinnamon, the porch light kiss

The reason that I still believe in

Holding on to the best part of the season

Won't let it go, won't let it fade

I'm dancing in the cold I made

Got my coat on, got my proof

Nothing's leaving me, not you, not truth

Not you, not truth
