Reindeer games

You let the hair on your face grow long
You’ll take the pain and turn it into a melody
sheepishly sung behind closed doors
You say that you wish you were home more.
Will she take your heart?
Will she wear it as a charge or a chastity?

You let the numbers on the clock tick by
You wonder what had happened to the good times
Will she take your heart?
Will she wear it as a charge or a chastity?

You know she goes in that house every night.
She sleeps in a different room every time.
She sleeps in a different room every night.
You lie awake for a different moon
and you’ve been awake for days.

There’s a lot of people talking about false intentions
a lot of people talking about cheat.
And I know that it’s hard. But you’ve got to muster the strength to break it to me.
You’re working for the weekend
But the weekend’s looking bleak.
All the while these reindeer games are taking you away.
She can barely remember your name.

Brother, you’ve been gone now for what seems like forever
Just look at the damage she’s done.
You’re praying to god and the vacancy listens
On Comet, on Cupid! On Donner, on Blitzen!
Tighten the reigns but this flight is destined to crash.
Crash!
