I don't want the promise, I want the guarantee
Of loose leaves, from trees
Outside is the drama that takes place outside
From you, and me too

Passwords save you, from me, and just
Secure our lives with secret Santas
Hopes dissolve under florescent lights, and they steal us away
From our rightful goodnights

Yeah, I want to see you, yeah, I want to believe
That you're downtown, that you're around
I know you're sincere because I've got it on my machine
I turn it up loud, like you're here now

Passwords save you, from me, and just
Secure our lives with secret Santas
As hopes dissolve under florescent lights
Yeah, I know that there are hopes
I can see them at night
