	Tell me how I’m supposed to feel Dying while the words won’t come out Doesn’t feel like it any more I can hold it in my hands I can see this thing through And I’m hoping it’s true Trying hard to make my way Driving home for the holidays where everyone’s so sure Thousand times I made my way Driving home for the holidays Everyone’s so sure Half the time it’s just passing you by Tell me how I’m supposed to feel Dying while the words won’t come out Doesn’t feel like it anymore I can’t hold it in my hands I can’t see this thing through If you’re holding on, too Trying hard to make my way Driving home for the holidays where everyone’s so sure Thousand times I made my way Driving home for the holidays Everyone’s so sure Half the time it’s just passing you by Awake Asleep That wide open space between your intensity and what it meant to me Half the time it’s just passing you by

about

"Holidays" was this song we wrote in the very early days, probably late 1996, which is an eternity ago. It was quickly overtaken by better songs and fell by the wayside. There was a recording from a basement practice that got dredged up in December 2023 and passed around on a group text and so we decided to try and resuscitate the song 25+ years later. Here's the result. We'd like to give the 20-something year-old kid who wrote the lyrics a hug and tell him it's all gonna turn out alright.
