Homecoming LYRICS
I guess he just missed all the signals
His Goddamn heart just beat too fast
And that night she asked you for your jacket She didn't want to give it back
And now they're gathered round the punch bowl With office jobs and mini vans
The only reason they showed up tonight
Was to live inside what might have been
She pulls a flasque out of her jacket
And spikes her drink you raise your hand She says you always were a lush boy And can I tell you something else
All I really wanted was a ride back to your house
The night of homecoming
I know you drove a shitty car but you always blasted ballads Like November Rain
The DJ spins but no ones dancing
Instead just talk of parenthood
After this we'll head up to the landing he says She said she didn't think she could
Then an introduction to her husband You tell him he's a lucky man
Then it plays over again
I saw our storm soaked shirts pulled over our heads
And the dashboard lights drawing our silhouettes
All I really wanted was ride back to your house the night of homecoming
What good is it to know now
Now that nothing can be done
She said I could tell you always wondered Now your wondering is done
All I ever wanted was to drive you to my house the night of Homecoming
But your hair was up in curls and I couldn't seem to speak in complete sentences
