My Life Is At Home

My Life Is At Home

Promise Ring (The)
(album: Wood/Water)

I was just thinking most of last Wednesday
I hope we´re together from here until Doomsday
We could be each other´s arms
Keep each other free from harm
Because when it´s all stripped to the bone
My life is at home

Spring cleaning´s coming as we lose the cold weather
Put away your long johns and all your thick sweaters
We´ll cut off all our winter hair
Sit out on the lawn chairs
As the sun forgets that we´re here
We forget our career

All the lukewarm weeks at sixty degrees
We´re hoping it´s humid show our summer knees
Once in a lifetime once in a while the sun will shine on me
Thursday I´m leaving skip town I´m running
It´s cars and new faces and jokes that aren´t funny
But we laugh at them anyway
I´d do anything just to kill the day
No matter how far that I go I´m not so far away
All the lukewarm weeks at sixty degrees
We´re hoping it´s humid show our summer knees
Once in a lifetime once in a while the sun will shine on me
All the humid nights parked under streetlights
My baby´s riding shotgun in her knee high tights
She looks like heaven I feel like the devil
In my Sunday whites

As I slowly better my craft
I´m still a ghost of my better half
Cos once in awhile the sun shines on me
