[Verse 1]
I've been gone so long, I'll explain it in this song
The only time you ever see me
Is when you decorate the Christmas tree
I've been gone so long, I'll explain it in this song
The only time you ever see me
Is when you decorate the Christmas tree
I'm going restless
Fifteen minutes I'll be touching down
I'm finally back in town to unpack my bags and settle down

[Chorus]
I'm coming home for Christmas
I'll be home real soon and I'm getting anxious

[Verse 2]
I'll be sleepin' in and hangin' with my friends
Watering the family tree
Keeping my parents company
Checking my list twice
Who's been naughty, who's been nice
Shop accordingly
Buying gifts for friends, family and me

[Chorus]
I'm coming home for Christmas
I'll be home real soon and I'm getting anxious
I'm coming home, so don't you worry
Maybe if I'm lucky, I'll be early
[Instrumental Outro]
