Analysis of Thanksgiving Thoughts of Us
The family gathers together, this time of year
While people plan a menu, I finished mine, already
Must it have to be this way, this time of year
Even, you didn't want me alone with them, did you
So, then I still think about someone, this is alright
For my flight isn't going anywhere, not as of yet
Though, the Pumkin Pie awaits you, by her and her
Breaded mixture, baked, solid, Oh, Yes I Do
Remember..So, the Whip Cream Touched the sweeter
Side of your tongue, though what was the use of me
Baking you a better one ?
There was not a stove, just a little appliance that
Both of us, made Melted Cheese, Slapped Together
Sandwhiches..Oh, how would I know that you hated me
Could I see it in your eyes, while you stared into mine
Could I tell, when you looked at me moving, my body
The party didn't stop, and it didn't begin, yet
But you let go, that's why, my long time love, my friend.
