Blue October • “The Girl Who Stole My Heart” 🎄LIVE in Milwaukee • December 2023

Blue October released this gorgeous 6+ minute single back in 2020 titled, “The Girl Who Stole My Heart,” but remarkably, it hasn’t been played live until the past couple of shows.

Don’t miss the climactic vocals at 4:30!

This song feels like a Christmas gift from them to the fans. I hope we hear it every year. Enjoy!!

I recorded this at The Rave in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on December 3, 2023.

This song is a single from December 2020, and it is included in the band’s album, Spinning the Truth Around, Part I (2022). Lyrics below.

Thank you for watching and subscribing! 💙✨

LYRICS
“The Girl Who Stole My Heart”

Away she goes dancing in her red and green bow
(Yeah, it always stops my heart)
(It always stops my heart)
And like reindeer, she's prancing in white winter snow
(Yeah, it always stops my heart)
(And now we're further apart)

Is she getting me a paperback book
On how to have a better outlook?
And ways for moving on
From the part of me that she took

I wonder if she really knows
Just what I want for Christmas
And when she does, will it scare her off?

And if she runs away this year
Just like before, she'll miss us
The girl who stole my heart

I told Santa I need you, I guess Santa forgot
But I'll just sit here waiting with all these gifts for you I bought (it always stops my heart)
But a boy can keep dreaming like Christmas lights gleaming
And this year has meaning, 'cause you're all I want (and now we're further apart)

Is she getting me a paperback book
On how to have a better outlook?
And ways for moving on
From the part of me that she took

I wonder if she really knows
Just what I want for Christmas
And when she does, will it scare her off?

And if she runs away this year
Just like before, she'll miss us
The girl who stole my heart

I wonder if she really knows
Just what I want for Christmas
And when she does, will it scare her off?

And if she runs away this year
Just like before, she'll miss us
The girl who stole my heart
All I want, all I want
Let me be the one
Let me be the one
To hold you and never run

All I want, all I want
Let me be the one
Let me be the one
To hold you and never run
Never run, never run, never run

I wonder if she really knows
Just what I want for Christmas
And when she does, will it scare her off?

And if she runs away this year
Just like before, she'll miss us
The girl who stole my heart

I wonder if she really knows
Just what I want for Christmas
And when she does, will it scare her off?

And if she runs away this year
Just like before, she'll miss us
She'll always be the girl who stole my heart.
