Lyrics
Verse 1
Candles flicker, midnight talking
City breathes in silver light
Everyone is chasing magic
I’m just trying to read your eyes
Promises in boxes waiting
Words they never really keep
All the noise fades in the distance
When it’s you in front of me
Pre-Chorus
I don’t need a perfect moment
I don’t need the world to shine
If your heartbeat’s close to mine
That’s a miracle in time
Chorus
Only you this Christmas
Only truth, no grand display
When the lights go down and silence stays
Only you this Christmas
If I lose the rest, I’m fine
You’re the wish I didn’t dare to write
Verse 2
Fire burns but I’m still restless
Every road I took before
Led me through a thousand answers
Just to knock on your door
I don’t pray for angels falling
I don’t bargain with the night
If forever sounds like breathing
Here with you, I’ll sign
Pre-Chorus
Let them keep their golden chances
Let them chase another dream
All I need is standing here
Knowing you believe in me
Chorus
Only you this Christmas
Only truth, no grand display
When the lights go down and silence stays
Only you this Christmas
If I lose the rest, I’m fine
You’re the wish I didn’t dare to write
Bridge
Maybe love was never missing
Maybe I was just afraid
Every crown I tried to wear
Fell apart along the way
If this world demands a reason
Here it is — I choose to stay
Final Chorus
Only you this Christmas
Hear me say it loud and clear
No regret, no second guessing
I want you here
Only you this Christmas
When the night turns into dawn
If I have you, I have won
Outro
No more running
No disguise
If this is love
I won’t survive without it
I won’t try
