I spent eleven hundred dollars
On Amazon.com
Buying presents for my brother
And my girlfriend and my mom
And I know you're not supposed to
I know Jeff Bezos is an asshole
But I left it late
I spent seven shitty hours
On a bus to my hometown
To meet up with all my friends
Who just kind of stuck around
They say, "I know you're not supposed
To stay where you start"
But sometimes you like where you are
We met at Lee's apartment
His kids were at their mom's
And he hadn't decorated yet
We helped him put a palm tree up
It was an old joke
It made us feel young
Then we crammed into the kitchen
Drinking eggnog spiked with rum
Watching cable Christmas specials
That we watched when we were young
I don't know if I'm supposed to like this
Or just like what it reminds me of
Sometimes you're fine where you're at
Sometimes you like where you land
And we piled in Bobby's truck
Bobby gunned it down the road
We were aiming at the mall
Even though the mall was closed
Katie had a key
She said they just put up the tree
It'll be worth it
Trust me
And there was the perfect song on the radio
And every light we hit was green
Sometimes these little things
Are enough to make you feel like
You're right where you're supposed to be
We were looking at the lights
We were talking about snow
I said, "It's only frozen water"
Katie looked up from her phone
She said just because you can explain it
Doesn't mean it's not a miracle
