Waiting there, open up your eyes.
You will see a new part of your life.
He is there, waiting on true love to smother him.
I wish him well, he's not ready.
I hope he knows, the seasons dead.
Waiting there, open up your eyes.
I can see into his lover's mind.
She is there, waiting on someone to call her dear.
Writing her will, she's not ready.
I hope she knows, the seasons dead.
The seasons dead.
Send it to, my sepulchre.
Many cards in it baby.
I don't do this well.
I'll need some help.
Send it back, I don't need your words.
If you feel this way, I don't know why you're cold inside.
Every little lie you tell always makes me glad, did you notice?
I know you well, the seasons dead.
The seasons dead.
Send it to, my sepulchre.
Many cards in it baby.
I don't do this well.
I'll need some help.

Seems I didn't know I lay waiting at the bottom of it all.
She said it's overrated, sooner gone than be with you.
Time can be your own misery, sorry and lonely
But when you're with me on the road it's already golden
So let it lead us, taking the way back
Where we began our love
The place you remember, a kiss in December
Warm in your car at night
You and I setting back the clock
As long as we wanted
Bundled up Inside our home
As long as we wanted
Hand in hand and ignore the world
As long as we wanted
Stay Together for the ride
As long as we wanted
Time may be my own mystery, starting to be unseen
But if you omit memories, it's already bygone
I'm starting to read you, feelings went by you
When I said I'm done
Taking the wrong path, leaving you stranded
Just take me back tonight
You and I setting back the clock
As long as we wanted
Bundled up Inside our home
As long as we wanted
Hand in hand and ignore the world
As long as we wanted
Stay Together for the ride
As long as we wanted

Last Christmas you left me at home with a note
It said, "I want to be somewhere out in the snow"
"Where I'm lost in a sea of cherry and oak"
"Far away from your wintery eyes in the cold"
"I would have stayed just to hold you"
"But I realized I don't know you"
Now you're just a page/name in my notebook X4
This Christmas I'm left here on my own
No stockings hung or mistle toe
Only dust and ice on a window
Where I'm alone watching the fire burn slow, it burns slow
You should have stayed so I could hold you
But then again, I didn't know you
Now you're just a page/name in my notebook X4
Next Christmas I know you'll save me
Take me back and restore my sanity
Stringing lights all over the fir tree
You're in my arms and we're caroling
We'll be dancing to the songs we once knew
The lights go out but we will make do
And you'll be there so I can hold you
it will feel right, as I know you
And we'll be there in my notebook X4
(Backing vocals: Be there)

Mistletoe
Eyes and ears
You and I under the mistletoe
I won't let you go this time.
You are right here with me.
It's Christmas time when you're with me
I won't let you go this time.
It's just right you and I.
I won't let you go this Christmas night.
Stay here with me

Steven: It was Christmas eve and my heart was a mess. It’d been three hundred and sixty-four days since I last saw the light of my world. I knelt over to take a drink from my mug of warm milk, gazing longingly at the mantle that St Nick would soon tumble down. The minutes seemed to stretch into days and still no sign of that jolliest old elf. Now I’m standing here alone at the window, a deep sadness crushing my mortal soul into grey, lifeless ashes.
Steven: Could it be? The faintest jingle, the bleating of hooves, It’s him! He didn’t forget! Oh, it’s really him! My hands shook as I ran to the fireplace, desperately awaiting the first glimpse of those soot-stained boots, that smell of pipe tobacco and chocolate chips.
Santa: “Oh ho ho ho ho! Well, if it isn’t my favorite elf in the whole of South Jersey! Steven, my son, why, it must have been a year since I saw you last!”
Steven: Hehehehe
Santa: Merry Christmas!
Dancing in the snow
Snowflakes on my nose
Reindeer in the sky
Hey it's Christmas time
Santas on my mind
Keeping me in line
Building toys all night
Hey it's Christmas time
Santa: Oh, Steven, you always were my favorite elf.
Steven: Really, Santa? I always thought I was getting in the way...
Santa: Nonsense, my boy! How could I forget my most helpful worker?
Steven: Aw, thanks, Santa! That means a lot coming from you.
Santa: Ho ho ho ho, do you remember that time Rudolph got his nose stuck in the Bionicle machine?
Steven: Ahahah of course! He was sneezing energy swords for weeks!
Santa: And we can’t forget the Beyblade incident of 2002! We lost nearly a third of our best elves! Ho ho ho, let ‘em rip!
Dancing in the snow
Snowflakes on my nose
Reindeer in the sky
Hey it's Christmas time
Santas on my mind
Keeping me in line
Building toys all night
Hey it's Christmas time
Steven: Rest in peace, dearest brethren...
Santa: Oh, and the daily snowball fights! You had top score, if memory serves correct.
Steven: Of course! We were competing for food! And your marble-shooting paintball gun! I nearly lost an eye.
Santa: Hohoho, only the strongest survive in the north pole. You remember what happened to Tera right?
Steven: She was lost in the wilderness for 2 weeks and survived on nothing but rabbit meat and melted snow. She nearly died.
Santa: Oh yes, she was a real trouper.
Dancing in the snow
Snowflakes on my nose
Reindeer in the sky
Hey it's Christmas time
Santas on my mind
Keeping me in line
Building toys all night
Hey it's Christmas time
Santa: Well Steven I have to be on my way.
Steven: Aw, going so soon?
Santa: I’m afraid so Steven, there are still many presents to be delivered.
Steven: Will I see you again next year? Will you be releasing my wife soon?
Santa: Of course I’ll see you again! your wife however… She’s staying with me. Rudolph’s really taken a fancy to her...
Steven: Oh.. I see...
Santa: Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night! Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho!

I liked Desired's self-titled release very much, so had to get "Lovestory" as well, its style feels the closest. Desired must be a fan of the 80ies "Cat's Eye" anime, as tracks 1 and 8 are from its soundtrack.

Have yourself a very synth pop Christmas courtesy of Finders Keepers.

My Pet Flamingo’s winning streak continues with this gorgeous ethereal pop LP with melodies that rise and fall like vapor.

Future funk at its most sublime and romantic: rubbery synth melodies, digitized hooks, catwalk-ready beats, and plenty of heart.

Really good short Vaporwave album. All good tracks with a little glitch touch.
