(Count-in laugh)

Okay— go!

The oven’s on, the timer’s wrong

There’s something burning, carry on

I spilled the cider on the floor

We’ll just pretend it’s festive décor

Someone’s knocking, someone’s late

I think the pie can still be saved

Playlist’s stuck on track number three

But everyone’s still laughing at me

I tried to make it magical

I tried to make it right

But magic showed up anyway

When I stopped losing my mind

The kitchen’s a disaster

But we’re fine

Lights are crooked, cookies cracked

But so am I

If it’s loud and it’s messy

Then it’s mine

The kitchen’s a disaster

But we’re fine

There’s tinsel in the salad bowl

I don’t know how it got involved

Someone’s dancing by the sink

Someone’s singing off the beat

I burned the rolls, forgot the toast

But nobody seems to mind it most

They’re hugging, talking over me

This wasn’t how I planned it to be

I wanted perfect harmony

And matching plates and wine

But all the things I can’t control

Are working out just fine

The kitchen’s a disaster

But we’re fine

Every chair is pulled too close

And that’s alright

If it’s warm and it’s crowded

Then it’s mine

The kitchen’s a disaster

But we’re fine

If you’re hungry, grab a fork

If you’re tired, take a seat

If you’re lonely, stay a while

There’s plenty here to eat

(drop drums briefly)

The kitchen’s a disaster

But we’re fine

This is what it’s always been

In my mind

If it’s loud and it’s messy

And it shines

The kitchen’s a disaster

But we’re fine

(Spoken, smiling)

“Next year I’m ordering pizza.”

(Laugh, fade out)
