Ben Folds Lyrics
"You To Thank"

By the time the buzz was wearing off
We were standing out on the sidewalk
With our tattoos that looked like rings
In the hot Nevada sun

Gifts piled high
And our moms and dads shook hands
And a party of polaroid friends
Rented a pool and hired a band
Maybe they knew more than we knew
Cause they danced and drank while we jumped off the deep end
Oh I've got you
To thank
For this

Christmas came around
Yeah and everything was going to crap
For moms and dads, not a clue to be had
Yeah we put on a pretty good act
And they seemed to all need to believe it
So we danced and smiled and paddled hard beneath it
Oh I've got you
To thank
For this

You can't say you've never had a doubt
And smoked it down but really wanted out

By the time the buzz was wearing off
We were standing out on the sidewalk
With our tattoos that looked like rings
In the hot Nevada sun
And they won't fade

I've got you
To thank
