Let's get started, the faint and broken-hearted
Hold it up, I've got something I cannot hide
The worst painkiller, that all-in filler
The apart and departed look in my eyes

It's sad, how far you ran, I'll search this land
Up through the clouds, then back here
We could reignite like fireflies
Like an atom bomb at all hours

I'm empty like the day after Christmas
Swept beneath the wave of your goodbye
You left me on the day after Christmas
There's nothing left to say and so goodnight

I will follow the trail to tomorrow
With my loneliness with sorrow all through the night
Sons and daughters, mothers and their fathers
Just the bridges and the waters their clues left behind

It's sad, how far you ran, I'll search this land
Up through the clouds, then back here
We could reignite like fireflies
Like an atom bomb at all hours

I'm empty like the day after Christmas
Swept beneath the wave of your goodbye
You left me on the day after Christmas
There's nothing left to say and so goodnight

I'm empty like the day after Christmas
Swept beneath the wave of your goodbye
You left me on the day after Christmas
There's nothing left to say and so goodnight
There's nothing left to say and so goodnight, goodnight

    Here are the lyrics, glad to help fill in some of the parts you couldn't hear!

    Let’s get started, the faint and broken hearted Hold it up, I’ve got something I cannot hide The worst painkiller, the all infiller Apart and departed, look in my eyes

    It’s sad How far you’re in I’ll search this land Up through the clouds and back here We could reignite Like fireflies Like an atom bomb In all hours

    I’m empty like the day after Christmas Sweep beneath the wave of your goodbye You left me on the day after Christmas There’s nothing left to say and so goodnight

    I will follow the trail to tomorrow With my loneliness, with sorrow All through the night Sons and daughters With mothers and their fathers Cross the bridges and the waters The roofs left behind

    I’ts sad How far you’re in I’ll search this land Up through the clouds and back here We could reignite Like fireflies Like an atom bomb In all hours

    I’m empty like the day after Christmas Sweep beneath the wave of your goodbye You left me on the day after Christmas There’s nothing left to say and so goodnight
