I thought you would be mine this Christmas
Ring, Ring, Ring, hear the bells ringing on the Christmas Tree
Minnesota winter, snow is glistening
Yeah, but I’ll be spending this one different
Checked the fireplace and your stocking’s missing
Hard to celebrate when you’re not here with me, I’m writing from a distance
So, I guess I’ll be all alone this Christmas
No, Santa didn’t grant my wishes
You and me by the fire kissing, baby, unwrap you like you was my gift, baby
And you’re top of my list now, babe
How did we go out like this now, babe?
Seen a star, had to make a wish now, baby
My only wish is for you to come home but how does this sound, baby?
Baby, I’ll make the trip, I’ll tell you what
I’ll sing it to you like this, I’ll tell you what
I thought you would be mine this Christmas
Ring, Ring, Ring, hear the bells ringing on the Christmas Tree
Minnesota winter, snow is glistening
But I’ll be spending this one different
Checked the fireplace and your stocking’s missing
Right now you’re not here with me, I’m writing from a distance
So, I guess I’ll be all alone this Christmas
No, Santa didn’t grant my wishes
You and me by the fire kissing, baby, unwrap you like you was my gift, baby
Since you don’t wanna be friends, I should probably move on
This issue, you don’t wanna make amends
Girl, I been tryna make this whole thing make sense
You don’t know I’m in it all the way to the end
I been tripping off this situation I’m in, a ‘lotta reminiscing
Like me and you out at the Chalet last Winter
Snow in your hair, tell me where you wanna go, I’m there
Anywhere you wanna go, I’m there
I really don’t wanna be alone this year
You know I’ll make a trip, I’ll tell you what
(Sing it to you like) this, I’ll tell you what
I thought you would be mine this Christmas
Ring, Ring, Ring, hear the bells ringing on the Christmas Tree
Minnesota winter, snow is glistening
Yeah, but I’ll be spending this one different
Checked the fireplace and your stocking’s missing
Hard to celebrate when you’re not here with me, I’m writing from a distance
So, I guess I’ll be all alone this Christmas
Heartfelt Longing in a Winter Wonderland
Bryson Tiller’s “be mine this christmas” captures the ache of spending the holidays apart from a loved one. Set against the frosty backdrop of a Minnesota winter, the song paints vivid scenes of snow, ringing bells, and festive traditions gone hollow in the absence of someone special. The lyrics blend nostalgia with vulnerability, as Tiller reminisces about last winter’s warmth and connection. The recurring imagery of missing stockings and distant wishes underscores his yearning, while the chorus turns the classic romantic holiday fantasy into a bittersweet memory. Ultimately, Tiller’s storytelling turns a season of joy into a deeply personal moment of reflection on love lost and hopes unfulfilled.
