Wish List by Neon Trees, Music Lyrics and Video

Wish List is a Christmas single by American rock band Neon Trees, released on November 09, 2010.

Here is what the group said about their holiday song: “It’s very Neon Trees,” Campbell reports, “but it sounds like we’ve been listening to a lot of Spoon and old Phil Spector or something. The song’s lyrics, about longing to be with loved ones during Christmas, was inspired by U.S. troops.

“When you’re in a band, you go out on tour and think, ‘Oh, I’ve been gone for three weeks, boo-hoo,’” Campbell says, and then there’s people like that who are gone for so long. I could just imagine that if they could have anything, especially at that time of the year, it would be those people they love.”

Neon Trees - Wish List Lyrics

I’ve had a fire burning
Since the holidays began
I here its cold out where you’re living
But it ain’t colder than I’ve been
I’ve been an animal since you left me
I need you wrapped under my tree
My Christmas cheer is here and ready
But where are you to set it free

I sit alone
By the fire inside our home
Outside the snow is falling
And I’m singing

Wish as I may, wish as I might
Grant me this one small wish
On Christmas night
‘Cause I don’t need candy
Or the toys from my youth
I just want you, oh darling, I just want you

I’ve had a candle burning
Hoping you’ll come back to me
I think this may be more than anything
Mr. Santa Claus can bring
I was adorable when you left me
I’m on the naughty list this year
A lump of coal won’t do it justice
It’s all the loneliness I fear

I sit alone
By the gifts in our own home
You’re not a single one
And now I’m singing

Wish as I may, wish as I might
Grant me this one small wish
On Christmas night
‘Cause I don’t need candy
Or the toys from my youth
I just want you, oh darling, I just want you

I’m not Grinch
I’m not Mr. Scrooge
My heart just needs your light
The only thing I’m doing
Is crying in my room and singing
I wish my baby would be with me
Tonight

Oh oo oh oo oh oo oh

Oh I’ve been so lonely

Wish as I may, wish as I might
Grant me this one small wish
On Christmas night
‘Cause I don’t need candy
Or the toys from my youth
I just want you, oh darling, I just want you
