Sufjan Stevens — Christmas in July

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 pensive Your mother said it's very expensive Do what you want to, don't even ask us Paraguay, Boston, Philly, Damascus Maybe it's the snow, the endless 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 away, Christmas isn't right Don't take offenses, come to your senses Your confidence is straddling fences If I miss my chance, I didn't even try I'm not one to regret Christmas in July
