Holiday

from The Return by 800 Octane

/

lyrics

My girlfriend said she can't see me again. In the time I've been gone she's made all new friends. So we talked on the phone for an hour or two. We said our final goodbyes and our I love you's and now I don't feel like going home for the holidays. Baby let me look at you. It must have been a year or two since I last laid eyes on you. Time's been on your side.

But what ever happened to this town? The place I grew up in all seems so run down. Mom I'm coming home, cause if I stay here I'll spend New Year's alone.

So hey, here's to holidays. Do it one last time if that's alright.

My friend Chris got caught in the machine. He never had the chance to realize his dreams. Susan put a bullet in her own brain and I always knew her father was the one to blame. Now I don't feel like going home for the holidays.
