Lyrics of 'Home For The Holidays' by John Gallagher Jr

Here you come again, pulling up in front of my house.
Picking me up ‘cause I never got my license.
Never really understood why you were so willing to do that for me.
I always thought you were too kind.
And now I see you again, oh, tell me how long has it been since we last met?
And do I look any different?
You’re much like I remembered, although,
There’s a change in your dye and a stud in your nose.
I’m just waitin’ for you to tell me our love was a front and you’re a lesbian.
But it’s like nothing’s changed,
Maybe we’re pretending that things are still the same.
And just like you, I’m thinking inside,
Maybe I could give this another try,
While wondering, can we ever go back?
Home for the holidays.
And now here we go again, on an evening out with friends,
Acting like we don’t see the glances we throw at each other from across the table.
But you know and I know, too, I think about the way it was
And the things we used to do.
And just how weird it feels we’re not doing them any longer.
You offer to drive me home so we can get a chance to talk and be alone
But we don’t we don’t say too much and communicate through our kisses.
And I go to bed happy and I feel alive,
I’m hitting the pillow at ten until five am.
But I’m not thinking about sleep,
Just give me a brand new dawn and I’ll take it on.
So happy but so confused,
So healthy but still so bruised and blue.
What’s gonna happen when we wake up?

Will this twist have been enough?
And what on earth is gonna become of us?
Home for the holidays.
Now it starts again, and we can’t understand
How we can be so right but so much can go wrong.
They say that opposites attract and alone I prove that that’s a fact,
We still gotta deal with problems that probably exist amongst people that aren’t the same.
But it’s all worth it.
And that’s why we have come so far to survive.
Among the changes, for better or worse, I’ve got one that won’t be a curse.
‘Cause I got my license and this time I can drive.
Baby, I can drive.
And I don’t want you to leave,
My heart will never change, you still believe.
I don’t want you to go away, the clouds will come and the sun will stay.
Just park that truck, unpack those bags and stay
Home for the holidays,
Home for the holidays,
I so wish you would stay home for the holidays.
Home for the holidays,
Home for the holidays.
