Sleigh Bells Ring

[Verse 1]

Your old blue scarf is hanging by the door

Snow on the mat, your boots across the floor

Ma keeps the kettle singing on the stove

I cut through the cold for the place I know

[Pre-Chorus]

The train ran late, the road ran white

But every mile was worth tonight

[Chorus]

I’m coming home for the holidays

Past the pine and the frosted panes

Let the sleigh bells ring, let the whole block know

There’s a seat by the fire and a place to go

I’m coming home, no matter the miles

To your open arms and those kitchen smiles

[Verse 2]

Uncle’s got a story he’s told since June

Cousins steal cookies and blame the moon

We raise our mugs while the old clock chimes

For the ones who made it, for the ones on the line

No fancy plans, no perfect scene

Just your patched-up couch and the evergreen

[Pre-Chorus]

The wind can boast, the night can bite

This front-step welcome sets it right

[Chorus]

I’m coming home for the holidays

Past the pine and the frosted panes

Let the sleigh bells ring, let the whole block know

There’s a seat by the fire and a place to go

I’m coming home, no matter the miles

To your open arms and those kitchen smiles

[Bridge]

If the world says hurry, we’ll take our time

Pass that pie and pour one more lime

Keep the door unlatched, keep the old songs near

Home is the people who want you here

[Final Chorus]

I’m coming home for the holidays

Past the pine and the frosted panes

Let the sleigh bells ring, let the whole block know

There’s a seat by the fire and a place to go

I’m coming home, no matter the miles

To your open arms and those kitchen smiles

[Outro]

Your old blue scarf, the kettle’s song

I found my way back where I belong
