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
