"Carnival Vacation" lyrics

We had reservations
For a shoebox by the store
We left our sandals and our keys
Outside the door
And we had conversation
About the worries back at home
And all the tourists taking
Pictures on their phones

Would you stay despite the warning signs
Even if it's not as good this time

Who we were before
And who we're gonna be
I know it's on our minds
We wear it on our sleeves
But trouble will define us
If we can't let it go
It's only to remind us
To find our way back home
To find our way back home

Carnival vacation
We were up awake 'til dawn
Twenty bands all playing twenty different songs
And you got restless and
I got poisoned by the food
Oh I wasn't sure if we would make it through

It's not everything I had in mind

Who we were before
And who we're gonna be
I know it's on our minds
We wear it on our sleeves
But trouble will define us
If we can't let it go
It's only to remind us
To find our way back home
To find our way back home
We'll find our way back home
We'll find our way back home

We're wasting time outside the present
With limitations we're defending
But we can't write the perfect ending
I wouldn't want to anyway

Who we were before
And who we're gonna be
I know it's on our minds
We wear it on our sleeves
But trouble will define us
If we can't let it go
It's only to remind us
To find our way back home
To find our way back home
To find our way back home
To find our way back home
To find our way back home
