the ornaments are weighing down the branches,
you can barely see the tree but you know it's there
you can hear the lights humming
not to mention the stockings with our names that our grandma made
we're watching the same movies as last year, but we don't care one bit
it's just as exciting
and each night that comes it gets harder to sleep
why don't you let me stay up?
I wanna meet Santa Claus
why don't we just stay up?
I wanna meet Santa Claus
the lights on the roof keep going out but if you hold the ladder I'll check each one
so we can light up the neighborhood
the neighbors won't get any sleep if I have something to say about it
and each night that comes it gets harder to sleep
why don't you let me stay up?
I wanna meet Santa Claus
why don't we just stay up?
I wanna meet Santa Claus
build a fort next to the tree
leave the light on so I can see
'cause I don't think I'll be able to fall asleep
why don't you let me stay up?
I wanna meet Santa Claus

This album is beautifully crafted and emotional. Adam's guitar playing is incredible - intricate yet simple and melodic. The lyrics are infinitely moving, and each song is full of honesty and passion. Hides A Well
The mood of this album completely surrounds you and invokes a plethora of emotions. It is full of thoughtful lyrics and hauntingly beautiful melodies. Hides A Well
Poetic and ethereal folk songs paired with a handful of clever pop tracks - all sung beautifully. I am constantly impressed by Young Legs. Hides A Well
