Death Of A Holiday Lyrics

it's almost the fourth

and my sister called me yesterday

?michele, i'm coming over with the baby

we'll move the bed, and we'll set up the playpen

we'll watch fireworks and eat barbeque?



but when did this become so habitual

the calender's just like a blueprint for all the actions

but it's a holiday, so we'll all be, yeah i'll be ok



it's almost the fourth

but my grandfather died some years ago

so who's gonna light all the fireworks?

i seriously think that she doesn't want 'em anyway

so i'll buy them for my own satisfaction



yep, i'm just moving through all of the actions

i think maybe i still might be nine years old

it used to be a holiday, so let's just be, let's just be ok



it's almost the fourth of july

i can't help but feel that it's special somehow

like it's different from any other calender day

becasue it used to mean something to eat barbeque

and maybe it's just a to-do list with all of the actions

but it used to be mean something when i was nine years old



it's supposed to be a holiday, so it's a holiday

it's my holiday, my holiday



it's almost the fourth and my sister called me yesterday

and my sister called me yesterday

we'll move the bed, and we'll set up the playpen

we'll watch fireworks and eat barbeque?
