"Thanksgiving Eve" lyrics

One, two, three

Madison, she's having a baby
And our parents are showing their age
And I'm on a plane
And I'm feeling the pain
Oh, it's Thanksgiving Eve down below

And all the names from high school are hazy
Just diplomas tattered and old
And the homecoming queen's
On amphetamines
Hoping her parents don't know

And if we make it through this year
Oh, the days just move so slow 'round here
And life ain't so simple after all

My friends are meeting down at the same bar
Where the Christmas lights hang from the door
And they're laughing at jokes that they already told
Every November before

And what if nobody remembers me?
Oh, but then again, what if they do?
And I know that it's late
But I carry the weight
And I'm still so worried 'bout you

And if we make it through this year
Oh, the days just move so slow 'round here
And life ain't so simple after all

And if we make it through this year
Oh, the days just move so slow 'round here
And life ain't so simple after all

The cold on my skin
All I've held in
I feel like a kid, oh, is this how it's been?
I know I won't stay
I can't escape
Drive my sister's car if you meet me halfway

Meet me halfway
Meet me halfway

And if we make it through this year
Oh, the days just move so slow 'round here
Life ain't so simple after all

And if we make it through this year
Oh, the days just move so slow 'round here
And life ain't so simple after all
