Thanksgiving For Elliott Smith by The Boy Bathing 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
