This is the first time
In a long time
That I've felt like
Coming home for the holidays

Everybody's rushing about
Why won't anybody hear me out?

[Chorus]
My money's low
So instead I'll write you a song
Everyone will know
Everyone will know
So here it goes! (So hear it goes!)

Can you hear me?
I write so much
That it makes me sick
That it's all about you

Let's drop everything
And not come back til' next fall
Everyone knows that you've got me
Right where you want me to be

I'm coming home for the bright lights
And the warm nights
Driving around with your friends
In your parents car

We're the ones that made it out
We're the ones they always talk about

[Chorus]
My money's low
So instead I'll write you a song
Everyone will know
Everyone will know
So here it goes! (So hear it goes!)

Can you hear me?
I write so much
That it makes me sick
That it's all about you

Let's drop everything
And not come back til' next fall
Everyone knows that you've got me
Right where you want me to be

What we've done, this year
It was the best times (it was the worst times)
But we built something here
Looking back on what we've done, this year
It was the best times (it was the worst times)
But we built something here!

Can you hear me?
I write so much
That it makes me sick
That it's all about you
Let's drop everything
And not come back til' next fall
Everyone knows that you've got me
Right where you want me to be [x2]

    General Comment:This is one of my absolute most favorite ADTR songs out of all of their songs. XD
    I think this song is about Jeremy(lead vocals) coming back home to Ocala after a long time for the holidays, and it tears to be coming home because he hated growing up in Ocala. And he's getting sick of writing songs because all he tends to write about is this girl he knows. But he's willing to put the past behind just for the holidays and spend time with old friends and family.

    Like he's reading something about someone and after he reads all about it it makes him sick. But it def sounds like "Write" So idk.
