Christmas Eve

I wrote this song the night before by first day of freshman year. I was so excited. The first day ended up horrible, but that has nothing to do with this song. Haha.

Christmas Eve

Verse:
As I walk through that door, I'm gonna find the key
That'll unlock this cage and set me free
Smiling up and down the crowded walls
From here, I hope no one ever presses pause

Woken up from a long, painful sleep
For the first time, I can believe
That old brick building is where I belong
So I'll check that clock all night long

Pre-Chorus:
Seven hours left till the alarm goes off
Try to breathe slow, but the feeling won't stop

Chorus:
My heart's gonna jump straight out of my chest
A glorious journey is lying ahead
It's just a few baby steps away
I've waited 14 years for this day
Why can't the night sky fade to dawn?
It's 12 AM and I'm writing this song
The stars are aligned this August night
I'm leaving the past far behind
Don't think I'll catch a wink of sleep
This is my Christmas Eve

Verse:
Finally letting down my guard, you gotta live and learn
Everybody's worn smiles before, now it's my turn
If I crumble and fall and the stars fade to dust
Oh I'm not gonna let my heart die down to rust

Pre-Chorus:
Five hours left till the beginning of my life
Not gonna let these 4 years run dry

Chorus:
My heart's gonna jump straight out of my chest
A glorious journey is lying ahead
It's just a few baby steps away
I've waited 14 years for this day
Why can't the night sky fade to dawn?
It's 2 AM and I'm writing this song
The stars are aligned this August night
I'm leaving the past far behind
Don't think I'll catch a wink of sleep
This is my Christmas Eve

Bridge:
Finally drifted off into a dream
It was as beautiful as the picture seemed
Colors everywhere, no black or white
Not a single fear in sight

Pre-Chorus:
Hear the alarm, time went slow yet so fast
The sand is at the bottom of the hourglass

Chorus:
My heart's gonna jump straight out of my chest
A glorious journey is lying ahead
It's just a few baby steps away
I've waited 14 years for this day
Why can't the night sky fade to dawn?
It's 7 AM and I'm writing this song
The stars are aligned this August night
I'm leaving the past far behind
Don't think I'll catch a wink of sleep
This is my Christmas Eve

Such a cute song!! :) I know that feeling where you're just so excited for something the next day that you can't sleep... and then end up writing a song! :P
