Los Margaritos |
Thank you for dinner last night at Los Margaritos |
I’m sorry I complained about the quality of the beef in my burrito |
I’m sorry I said I’d rather be eating a bag of Cheetos |
I’m sorry I said I’d rather be bathing in a bathtub full of Fritos |
I wish we could go back right now to Los Margaritos |
I wish we could all go back right now to Los Margaritos |
Now everyone has flown away and I’m watching the day fade |
I’ve got no plans tonight, nobody’s calling, it’s a Saturday |
It’s April Fool’s and I’ve got no pranks, no practical jokes today |
I’m the asshole alone on the couch who rained on everyone’s parade |
Now I’m sitting here alone watching the tourists' boat float away |
Now I’m sitting here watching the ferry boat float away |
In the moment I couldn’t help but wish to wiggle out |
I try to put my smiling face on but I couldn’t control my bow, pow pow pow pow |
And the kids are young, I feel so dumb |
Cause I never know what to say to them |
And I sit there remembering the time I was their age in amazement |
It’s complicated stuff, my brain is like a loaded washer being spun |
Spun, my brain is like a loaded washer being spun |
Thank you for dinner last night, it really was the sweetest thing |
It’s nice remembering now, as things can be in hindsight you’re reflecting |
The guacamole wasn’t bad, the chips were okay |
The lemon wedge was fresh, right there on the edge of my glass of iced tea |
I wish I was big enough to overcome my tension and my unease |
But who says sitting around with those who you love is always an easy breeze? |
Who says sitting around with those whom you love is an easy breeze? |
The elements and idiosyncrasies and convoluted complexities |
The baggage, the history, what things are like now |
Compared to how they used to be |
Remember the times we put our toes in the ocean and we went tidepooling? |
Remember when we could walk to the shore and back without moaning or groaning? |
I’m definitely not a kid anymore, going yard to yard lawnmowing |
I’m definitely not a kid anymore, going from house to house corning |
We’re definitely not kids anymore |
In the backseat of our parent’s car, taking trips to Niagara Falls |
We’re definitely not kids anymore |
Wondering if our parents are in the other room, listening to our phone calls |
Anyhow, thank you again for dinner at Los Margaritos |
Next time, dinner on me, let’s try Chapino’s |
It’s lonely tonight, eating my celery sticks and sipping on Pellegrino |
I wish we could all be together again right now |
Straining our necks to watch kitty cat video |
Together as a family having dinner at Los Margaritos |
I wish we could all go back right now to Los Margaritos |
I wish we could all go back right now to Los Margaritos |
