Christmas Vacation (Descendents Cover) Lyrics
You were depressed, you were really messed up
You know I understand
But why did you not talk to me
Why didn't you help me prepare for the nightmare
You took a vacation into oblivion
You were so low and I felt like I didn't know you
Christmas vacation you took a vacation from me
Once it ended, I mended myself
But it keeps falling back down off the shelves in my head
A twinge of pain now, a shudder of disgust
As I shield my eyes from my own memory
I knew all about your plans
I really did understand
But you didn't let me know
I wasn't invited to go
Christmas vacation you took a vacation from me
I watched in desperation as you stumbled before my eyes
She needs beer, she doesn't need me, I finally realized
My anger and pain in all your fun, you couldn't recognize
I stopped caring long before you started to cry
You know I understand
But why did you not talk to me
Why didn't you help me prepare for the nightmare
You were so low and I felt like I didn't know you
Christmas vacation you took a vacation from me
But it keeps falling back down off the shelves in my head
A twinge of pain now, a shudder of disgust
As I shield my eyes from my own memory
I really did understand
But you didn't let me know
I wasn't invited to go
Christmas vacation you took a vacation from me
She needs beer, she doesn't need me, I finally realized
My anger and pain in all your fun, you couldn't recognize
I stopped caring long before you started to cry

The original song is pretty much saying that there was a firend or girlfriend they cared about who ended up killing themselves. It's kinda funny how that song fits Mark's situation so well. "you took a christmas vacation from me." Tom left the band around christmas time. "My anger and pain in all your fun, you couldn't recognize I stopped caring long before you started to cry" He's pissed off at Tom being, or at least, appearing that he's happy with his situation. but now that he realizes what he's done Mark doesn't want anything to do with him. I stopped caring before you started to cry. he's fed up with his BS and he's done with him
simply fantastic.
this song rocked live :)
I love the way +44 cover this song.. check out the original it's a badass song...Milo is one of the best songwriters ever!
