J. Fein - Alfred Trip

The greatest day starts with something simple
Ben says to Julia, It's beautiful outside, let's take advantage
Let's go find Fein, we'll hop into his Honda, do some highway flying
But we'll keep the destination a surprise

I don't have a change of underwear, a change of anything
But I wouldn't change anything from how it is
Like this, with nothing as the norm

We bought the camera, turned our phones off, turned my mind off
It was the right time to roll to me, and I was sleepy in the back
And the birds fly by the thousands, it's a sure sign
Of sunny days to come

It made sense at the time

Here's his hometown, take a snapshot, see the sundown
No no nobody's home but Mocha, fill my sandwich with capicola
To the workshop, meet the boy who's Daddy owns this town
He's crafting hands of metal made to hammer on the ground
Write the list out on my arm of all the people
Whose faces we have to find

It made sense at the time
Spray the scent into the faces of the students
Waltz around with Jarett for 46 seconds of your life
Spin the baby on your shoulders till he's dizzy
Only mad ones understand but at least we know
That it made sense at the time

Cassidy placed perfectly, but Jarett's out so Julia can't be
His make-believe biggest fan
I'm chasing deer but feeling fearful, the point of sudden trips unclear to
All them Alfred boys and I don't blame them
Pounding Rolling Rock, "looks like I'm the a-hole, kids"
Ben, you never said your mom was chiller than a fridge
We pile in the van like on the way to soccer practice
And that's when things got snowball out of control

Go find the soulmate who your sister said was hybrid
Take a peanut butter Play-Doh shot
'Cause we ain't holding back tonight
Don't be showing up unless you're unexpected
Only mad ones understand but at least we know
That it made sense at the time

I'm calling my brother up, fill me up another cup
He's turning 25 so everybody f-ing sing
We know you can dance like your name is Lance Bass
So come on break it down like you're in N'Sync
Calling on a sorta friend to get in touch with Hybrid Ben
D-mn it Julia, that's the reason that you came
Well this is sort of awkward and I swear I'm not a stalker
But I'm pretty sure you met my older sister on a plane

I got the air freshener, I could be the messenger
These kids are pretty smelly and they really oughta know
Crunked as you are, you shoulda stuck to the guitar
These kids are pretty angry now we really have to go

Don't knock it till you taste it, it's great when you're wasted
Local food at a townie discount
I pushed her in the snow, I'm sprawled on the bed, I earned drunk friend probation yea yea yea

The next morning
Ben's mom put the crisp wiggle in my bacon
That's not a sexual thing
The next morning
I knew I had all the love that I need

But the pictures won't capture it, the pictures won't capture these feelings
The pictures won't capture it

Only mad ones understand but at least we know it made sense
It made sense at the time

The greatest day ends with something simple
The three of us with tired smiles on the Colgate sign for the last picture
I think I'm crashing down from this high
I think I'm crashing
