lyrics

I keep the number of my ex Italian lover in a very safe place
His name was Mirco and I met him in Piobbico on Christmas Day (Buon giorno)
I never studied my Italian but now you’ve got my attention and I hope that we can make this happen
At our first date at a wine bar in a filling station
Buon natale (hey)

We can’t believe it when we’re standing at the station with tears in our eyes
And neither one of us could tell you any reason that we needed to cry
Na na na na na na na na
And I know that you’ll think of me at Christmastime
Na na na na na na na na
Just know that I’ll think of you at Christmastime time time time

Highway 90 to the Dead Sea his name was Avi
I still have his apartment key (Let’s go!)
On the first day of Hanukkah we shared a dance
And on the last day of Hanukkah I gave him a chance
He’s got a tattoo of a dreidel yeah it’s right above his navel and I don’t know if I’ll ever be able
To light the menorah with a pure intention

Shabbat shalom
On the first day of Hanukkah I feel just fine
On the last day of Hanukkah I wish you were mine mine mine mine
Arrivederci!
Shabbat shalom!

It’s okay to go away
And I’ll always have this piece of you in a safe place
“It’s okay,” we say
When I hold this close it brings me back
To happy holidays
When we knew that it was best to go our own way
“It’s okay,” we say
When I hold this close it brings me back
When I hold this close it brings me back to you

Sometimes you only get the beginning
The beginning is sometimes the end
Happy Holiday to you
And to very specific (very specific!) ex-boyfriends
