The Weekend Before Halloween

We drove to East Lansing the weekend before Halloween

We laughed on the porch

At the fact that my favorite holiday

Is the one where you get to be somebody else

Where you count down until dark

And light bonfires behind the house

Filling up on midwestern fall

The holiday that's not a holiday at all

We drove to East Lansing the weekend before Halloween

It was probably standing in the shadow of the university

That made me too proud to say

I was a part of nothing

The weekend before Halloween

But I couldn't deliver that line

While looking someone in the eye

Behind mine, my head felt like it had a headache

And my chest felt like it took it all

All of the breaths

Felt like it took it all

It could take

We drove to East Lansing the weekend before Halloween

It was probably standing in the shadow of the university

That made me too proud to say

I was a part of nothing

The weekend before Halloween

The weekend before Halloween

Before

We drove to East Lansing singing Misfits songs on Halloween

It made me too proud to say

I was a part of nothing

The weekend before Halloween

The weekend before Halloween
