It's the third time this week
We've been to this bar
Playing "Joy to the World"
On electric guitar
And we're three beers deep
And they're closing in 10
Oh boy don't you know
What kind of girl I've been
I've been patient
And merry and kind
And I've been waiting
A really long time

I want you to take me home
And not so we can make out
I want you to take me home
Take me home to your parents' house
I want you to take me home
Show me serious commitment
I want you to take me home
Yeah come on, take me home for Christmas
Come on, take me home for Christmas
Come on, take me home for Christmas

Woke up late
But your momma don't care
And she walked in on me
In just my underwear
Now your whole family's
Peeking under the tree
Oh look at that
A bunch of gifts
They got from me
'cause I'm so thoughtful
And merry and kind
And I was waiting a really long time

I want you to take me home
And not so we can make out
I want you to take me home
Take me home to your parents' house
I want you to take me home
Show me serious commitment
I want you to take me home
Yeah come on, take me home for Christmas
Come on, take me home for Christmas
Come on, take me home for Christmas

Wanna get drunk with your mother and father
I'd be the coolest in-law daughter
Hungover brunch with you and your sister
Your exes got the summer
But boy I get the winter
Wanna get drunk with your mother and father
(wishing you happy holidays)
I'd be the coolest in-law daughter
(sent from my boyfriend's parents' place)
Hungover brunch with you and your sister
(I'll trim the tree and bake the yule)
Your exes got the summer
(as long as your grandma thinks I'm cool)
But boy I get the winter

Sample comments about this video

"This is def giving a 2000´s christmas movie intro about a teenage or young adult"

"girl same, i would ALSO like ben marshall to take me home for christmas"

"I love how nearly every song of hers has this melancholic undertone to it. Almost like the speaker is aware that she's not entirely correct or happy about anything she's talking about, but believes it wholeheartedly because she's trapped in the moment"

"I don’t think this is what anyone was expecting but this is absolutely amazing"

"March: book of love April: drop dead May: the cure June: you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love August: Serena joy + daisy chain festival September: the unraveled tour October: expectations remix November: take me home (4 christmas) OH WE ARE BEING FED THIS YEAR"

"so glad she avoided the trap most artists fall into in trying so hard to create a “classic” christmas song when it so often falls flat and gets repetitive. this feels very authentic and original"

"After 3 years of waiting we got a Whole album plus 2 songs A remix AND A CHRISTMAS SONG!!!!!!!!"

"For the 1% of the people who stopped to read my comment, never give up, go ahead, fight for your dreams, things will come better for you, I wish you every success."

"this is gonna be the biggest new christmas hit this year. just wait"

"This song teaches us something very real: when someone truly matters to you, you don't just want to be part of their happy moments; you also want to be part of their life and the lives of the people they love."
