Carols At Christmas

A cold crash of metal and gears
 Grip the wheel as I sit right here
 Did she get away, a ghost of a deer
 Am I in this all alone?
 Well I'm nine, singing carols at Christmas
 I am trying to make sense of your tenses
 I know a word but not the rest of your sentence
 There is nothing I can do
 Because I don't understand you
 Always felt like I was walking a maze
 No one told me to go right or left
 Blue or red, what colors disguise me
 So I look like all the rest?
 Well I'm nine, singing carols at Christmas
 I am trying to make sense of your tenses
 I know a word but not the rest of your sentence
 There is nothing I can do
 Because I don't understand you
 Your eyes never change their watchful gaze on the T.V. set
 They're already a day ahead in the east
 Can an island mean more than me?
 Well there you are, standing with people like you
 It seems I've never seen you laugh like you do
 I count the ways I could have been more like you
 Well I'm nine, singing carols at Christmas
 I am trying to make sense of your tenses
 I know a word but not the rest of your sentence
 There is nothing I can do
 Because I don't understand you
