My Life Is At Home

(álbum: Wood / Water - 2002)

I was just thinking most of last Wednesday
I hope we're together from here until doomsday
We could be each other's arms
We'd keep each other free from harm
'Cause 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 careers

All the lukewarm weeks at sixty degrees
Now we're hoping it's humid show our sunburned knees
'Cause once in a lifetime, once in a while the sun will shine on me

It's 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
Now we're hoping it's humid show our sunburned knees
'Cause once in a lifetime, once in a while the sun will shine on me

All the lukewarm weeks at sixty degrees
Now we're hoping it's humid show our sunburned knees
'Cause once in a lifetime, once in a while the sun will shine on me

But 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

'Cause once in awhile the sun shines on me
