We drove to East Lansing the weekend before Halloween
We laughed on the porch
At the fact that my favorite holiday
Is the one where you get to be somebody else
Where you count down until dark
And light bonfires behind the house
Filling up on midwestern fall
The holiday that's not a holiday at all

We drove to East Lansing the weekend before Halloween
It was probably standing in the shadow of the university
That made me too proud to say
I was a part of nothing
The weekend before Halloween

But I couldn't deliver that line
While looking someone in the eye
Behind mine, my head felt like it had a headache
And my chest felt like it took it all
All of the breaths
Felt like it took it all
It could take

We drove to East Lansing the weekend before Halloween
It was probably standing in the shadow of the university
That made me too proud to say
I was a part of nothing
The weekend before Halloween
The weekend before Halloween
Before

We drove to East Lansing singing Misfits songs on Halloween
It made me too proud to say
I was a part of nothing
The weekend before Halloween
The weekend before Halloween
