"Different Kinds of Stars" (RCR Christmas Song 2017)

Опубликовано 12 декабря 2017, 12:00

A Christmas song about long distance relationships, and one man's obsession with the Chevy II Nova owned by his girlfriend's father.

(Sorry for the hastily assembled video. But then, everything about Christmas is last-minute for me)

Lyrics:

It may be hard to feel it when you're on a different coast

But know my wish for Christmas is the girl I miss the most

I swear we'll close the gap, and we will learn to be okay

That this will be the first year we're apart on Christmas Day

I need you more

Than years before

And though it's not the same, I'll daydream that you came

By which I mean you showed up at my door, or that I showed up at yours

Spending Christmas Day in different places will be wonderful, I'm sure

I like your face

I like your hair

I like the things you say you'd do to me if I were there

And of the things, you say you'd do

You're gonna get your dad to let me drive his Chevy II

The distances we'd cross on Christmas Day

You live in East LA

And I live in PA

Long distance love is like a project car

But while the Nova isn't new

It's reminding me of you

Cuz you're just different kinds of stars

I'm thankful for a girlfriend and assorted jobs that pay

So I can buy a ticket every month to come your way,

I'd try to drive to you for Christmas, but my engine's shot

I meant to change my oil and my spark plugs but forgot

This time of year

Though you're not here

My family gets me through

So when I'm feeling empty, they'll just fill me up with pie and platitudes


I like your face

I like your hair

I like the things you say you'd do to me if I were there

And of the things, you say you'll do

You're gonna get your dad to let me drive his Chevy II

The distances we'd cross Christmas Day

You'd come from East LA

To meet me in PA

Long distance love is like a project car

But while the Nova isn't new

It's reminding me of you

Cuz you're just different kinds of stars

And though the empty space your body leaves behind is small

I'm thankful every time you're here to make that shape at all

I'll be missing you this yuletide, like the winter misses fall

And you'll miss me but you should know that you can always call

Each Christmas still,

Our hearts are filled

And even if I never get to drive that Chevy II

You mean more to me than that Nova ever will

I like your face

I like your hair

I like the things you say you'd do to me if I were there

And of the things, you say you'd do

You're gonna get your dad to let me drive his Chevy II

The distances we cross on Christmas Day

You live in East LA

And I live in PA

I know it might not look it from afar

But wherever I may roam

You're reminding me of home

Because you've been my Northern Star

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and all the best for the New Year, from RCR!
