Thanksgiving (For Elliott Smith) Lyrics

[Verse]

What are you doing? I’m writing a song

She says “I’m going to a movie, do you want to come?”

Well, it’s not that easy, you are far from me

Should I go to you? Or should you come to me?

[Chorus]

And the sun goes down on the Williamsburg Bridge

And if I’m lonesome then it’s nothing that nobody ever did

[Verse]

A girl walks home with her grocery bags

Like the weight that is inside them is too much for her to bear

And a family struggles to a photograph

Like they need something to prove that they were really there

[Chorus]

And the cars pass me by on Bеdford Avenue

And I’m wondering how am I supposеd to do what Elliott Smith couldn’t do

[Post-Chorus]

‘Cause the cars all sleep in the parking lot

With a blanket of snow and the motors off

And it takes courage that I haven’t got

And I’ll hope some day that I have a lot[Verse]

And a kid comes home from college on Thanksgiving break

Where families fit inside of a picture frame

They hang close to mirrors on front entryways

So when they leave they always, always will remain

So when they leave they always, always will remain

So when they leave they always will remain
