All Part Of The Experience

(album: All Part Of The Experience - 2021)

I wanna come home to you, the you that I knew
You'd drop what you're doing and demand that I hold you
Living room serenades, dusty records that still play
My hand on your waist while you spin up the staircase
Brown bangs hugging your pale face
Black bags like saucers under eyes like space

And of course we will dance until we can't stay awake
You might not be Molly I sure ain't no James
But together we're a movie a film that John Hughes made
And I just wanted to play, and play, and play, and play
But after the credits we will stay, we'll stay, we'll stay
We will stay

No I don't have a job at least not a conventional one
You don't get along with your mom because you never felt loved
One day your daughter will, one day her father will
And we could be those parents that we wished we had
We didn't meet at a school we met when we were supposed to
I screwed a lot of things up but sweetheart so did you
I will still call you sugar, 'cause like sugar you still taste
Somedays a little more sour but sweeter somehow most days

And of course we will dance until we can't stay awake
You might not be Molly I sure ain't no James
But together we're a movie a film that John Hughes made
And I just wanted to play, and play, and play
But after the credits we will stay, we'll stay
I just wanted to play, and play, and play
While you stayed

Just promise me you'll hold that look on your face
Even when you don't feel it, you'll force it anyway
We're all just chasing versions of ourselves
In an experience on a train
An experience you and I actually shared, and we shared it in the rain
We almost froze to death but our adrenaline kicked in and it kept us safe
And I called you peaches 'cause that was your name

And of course we will dance until we can't stay awake
And of course I'll hold your hand even when you say you need space
'Cause we're just a movie that the critics probably hate
But I just wanted to play, and play, and play, and play

And of course we will dance until we can't stay awake
You might not be Molly I sure ain't no James
But together we're a movie a film that John Hughes made
And I just wanted to play, and play, and play
But after the credits we will stay, we'll stay
I just wanted to play, and play, and play
While you stayed

After the credits we'll still be kissing
And the theater attendant will ask us to get going
But we laugh at them dear 'cause we're the final showing
We are the movie they're missing
The movie everyone's missing
