lyrics

We ate churros next to Sleeping Beauty’s castle
I remember ‘cause the sugar on my hands
Gummed up the handle to the bathroom
Next to Peter Pan’s Flight

You insisted that we both buy Mickey Mouse ears
And the kids all laughed and pointed
As we sprinted to Frontierland
‘Cause Thunder Mountain’s busy at night

It’s me and you
On Thunder Mountain
And you’re screaming bloody murder
But your smile’s a mile wide
Me and you
On Thunder Mountain
We’re grownups, but we’re little kids inside
If we don’t stop, they’ll kick us off the ride

Back home in New York, I make a mess of things
I’m supposed to see you maybe Saturday
But now I’ve got to work
And you’ve got class until nine

But at 10pm on Saturday the doorbell rings
And you’re holding up a six pack
And you say “we’re gonna drink this
And watch Princess Bride; we’re gonna be fine”

And every day
Is Thunder Mountain
And you’re quoting Billy Crystal
Saying Westley “mostly died”
We’re away
On Thunder Mountain
We’re grownups, but we’re little kids inside
Please keep your feet and elbows on the ride

I have no idea if we can make it through
Music’s getting busy
And you’re headed back to grad school
And we might be forever; we might not

But I know right now I love you, and you love me too
No one said this would be easy
I couldn’t ask for better company
I can be glad with what I’ve got

So here’s to you
And Thunder Mountain
And to screaming bloody murder
And to smiles a mile wide

To me and you
And Thunder Mountain
We’re grownups, but we’re little kids inside
And “grownup” means whatever we decide
I’m grateful every day we’re on the ride
