We Used to Vacation Lyrics

Lyric discussion by rav4guy 

Cover art for We Used to Vacation lyrics by Cold War Kids

very poignant writing. a song about a man looking back on his childhood and his father's alcohol addiction, but seeing the situation from his father's perspective in an attempt to jusitfy his behavior. in the same vein as death cab's "styrofoam plates", but with less animosity and more empathy on the part of the singer.
