Christmas in July - Sufjan Stevens

If I miss my chance

I didn't even try

I'm not one to regret Christmas in July

If my timing is bad

Like a fish on a bike

Would you let me pretend Christmas in July

I'm not one to admit

I'm not one to fight

Maybe I was wrong

But maybe I was right

Like when I went to school

Drinking coffee at night

And I did what I did

Now I do what I like

Open the champagne

Party and dancin'

You'll know that sadness

Very expensive

Do what you want to

Don't even ask us

Wear it without sin

Family Damascus

Maybe it's the snow

In this winter nights

And the winter coat

The one you never liked

But I'll take the sun

And I'll take my kite

Christmas on the beach

Christmas in July

And I love my friends

Even if they fight

Christmas in July

Just to keep them quiet

And I love you too

I love you through the night

But now that you're awake

Christmas isn't right

Don't take offenses

Come to your senses

Your confidences straddling fences

If I miss my chance

I didn't even try

I'm not one to regret Christmas in July
