about

A smiling firework explosion about the simple moment of wrapping a gift.

lyrics

Well I finished my shopping
I think I nailed it
I think I found you *the* gift—I think you’ll love it so I
I sneak them upstairs
Paper and ribbon
I’m holing up in my room to get the job done
A couple hours
Until it’s dinner
Not sure if I can make use of all this glitter but
I’ve got all this work to do
Getting these gifts ready for you

Gotta wrap (Don’t peek until it’s done)
Gotta wrap (Not knowing’s half the fun)
I gotta wrap (Holding this fold in place)
Gotta wrap (And I can’t wait to see your face)

Cut the paper, tape the edges
Write a To and From for every present
yeah it’s worth it just to see you get excited
I want to see you get excited

Shiny snowmen, Santa Clauses, stack em up high
They’re glittering and gleaming underneath all the lights
A different guess for every shape and every size; what’s inside it?
I want to see you get excited

Well, most books are easy
Just a rectangle
I’ll do them first then move on to tougher angles
What about this football?
Think it can best me?
I’ll roll it up like a giant piece of candy and though
I am an artist
Some could be better
Can’t get hung up—I’ll say that it gives them character
And who needs perfection now?
It’s what’s on the inside that counts

Gotta wrap (Don’t peek until it’s done)
Gotta wrap (Not knowing’s half the fun)
I gotta wrap (Holding this fold in place)
Gotta wrap (And I can’t wait to see your face)

Cut the paper, tape the edges
Write a To and From for every present
yeah it’s worth it just to see you get excited
I want to see you get excited

Shiny snowmen, Santa Clauses, stack em up high
They’re glittering and gleaming underneath all the lights
A different guess for every shape and every size; what’s inside it?
I want to see that sparkle
Dreaming of the moment when you get to unwrap
It doesn’t matter that it all ends up in the trash
We do it for the magic and we do it for surprises
I want to see you get excited

For a shining moment
Smiling firework explosion
All the possibility in your eyes

Cut the paper, tied the bow
Look outside, it’s just beginning to snow
and I’m so excited

Shiny snowmen, Santa Clauses, stack em up high
They’re glittering and gleaming underneath all the lights
A different guess for every shape and every size; what’s inside it?
I want to see YOU sparkle
Dreaming of the moment when you get to unwrap
It doesn’t matter that it all ends up in the trash
We do it for the magic and we do it for surprises
I want to see you get excited
