  • [Verse 1]
    Light us up until we pop
    I wanna burn bright 'til we're not
    Let's keep each other safe from the world
    I'll be your optimistic black hole
    Full of love I can't control
    Let's keep each other safe from the world
    From the world

    [Chorus]
    Happy birthday, Merry Christmas
    To the one I call my missus
    I'm leaving you love notes in the kitchen that say it all
    I know you said to mind my business
    But Cupid sent me on a mission
    That's got me sitting, wishing, waiting for your call
    Let's be lucky people, you and me

    [Verse 2]
    My hourglass is in your hands
    You've got my time, you are my plans
    Let's keep each other safe from the world
    You've got me writing sappy songs
    I used to laugh at on my own
    Let's keep each other safe from the world


    [Pre-Chorus]
    Because I know it's hard to let yourself be fine
    When we carry 'round our worried flurried minds
    But I'll let go if you do too

    [Chorus]
    Happy birthday, Merry Christmas
    To the one I call my missus
    I'm leaving you love notes in the kitchen that say it all
    I know you said to mind my business
    But Cupid sent me on a mission
    Thatt's got me sitting, wishing, waiting for your call
    Let's be lucky people, you and me
    Ooh, ooh, ooh

    [Bridge]
    My common sense is powerless
    And I'm convinced that you have
    Caught me, luck is just the half of it
    The better half of me that I couldn't quit
    'Cause now I'm flying 'cross the country
    More than monthly for you
    You've got me more than clumsy
    But you're my yellow lovely

    [Chorus]
    Happy birthday, Merry Christmas
    To the one I call my missus
    I'm leaving you love notes in the kitchen that say it all
    I know you said to mind my business
    But Cupid sent me on a mission
    That's got me sitting, wishing, waiting for your call Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
