Ben Folds - You to Thank Lyrics

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

Kids piled high
And 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 wearin' off
We were standin' 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
