looking for christmas - switchfoot lyrics

[verse 1]
there’s a man near the freeway on*ramp
and the sign says he’s looking for change
the lives we lead as strangers
make the whole world feel so strange
i give him a couple green pieces of paper
ex*presidents’ faces and names
and he asks me whether cash could ever bring change

[pre*chorus]
and all the carols in my ear
feel disturbingly inept and insincere
[chorus]
i’m still looking for christmas
tell me what christmas means
tell me, what’s thе worth singing, “peace on earth,”
when thеre’s war on the tv screen?
i’m still looking for christmas
i get the feeling that i’m on my own
is there a christmas star to show me where you are?
because the wise men all forgot the way home

[verse 2]
well, it’s halfway through december
the end of a long, weird year
as far back as i can remember
the tension never felt this clear
is this what my parents felt like?
drinking bitter and sweet from a cup
maybe this is what it feels like to grow up?

[pre*chorus]
and all the carols are still the same
but maybe my ears are hearing different, something’s changed

[chorus]
i’m still looking for christmas
tell me, how does christmas work?
with our flags unfurled, singing, “joy to the world,”
when there’s so much pain and hurt
i’m still looking for christmas
i get the feeling that i’m on my own
is there a christmas star that could show me the way home?
[pre*chorus]
i hear the christmas bells ringing
but i want more than just your shopping malls and carolling

[chorus]
i’m still looking for christmas
peace on earth could come and start right here
i want something real, more than just a feels
it’s been a long and lonely year
i’m still looking for christmas
i get the feeling that i’m on my own
is there a christmas star to show me where you are?
’cause i’m hoping i could find my way home
