Lyrics:

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, our moms and dads shook hands

in a party of Polaroid friends

rented a pool and hired a band

Maybe they knew more then 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

and our 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
