lyrics

GOD I WISH WE COULD SKIP THE IN BETWEEN STUFF
ALL THE BORING EVERYDAY ROUTINE STUFF
OH IF I COULD FAST FORWARD THROUGH IT
I SAY WHY NOT GET RIGHT TO IT
WHEN WE'RE SITTING IN OUR ROCKING CHAIRS
WATCHING GRANDKIDS PLAYING ON THE LAWN
WOULDN'T IT BE NICE TO SEE THE HIGHLIGHTS
HOLDING HANDS AND KISSING IN THE TWILIGHT
SKIP OVER ALL THE PAYING BILLS AND WASHING DISHES
WOULDN'T IT BE SO DELICIOUS
TO BE SITTING IN OUR ROCKING CHAIRS
WATCHING GRANDKIDS PLAYING ON THE LAWN
edit: their laughter floating through the air, see the sunset fade until it’s gone


OH WHY DO I DO THIS TO MYSELF
WITH SOMEONE CLEARLY WRONG FOR ME
SOMEHOW I GIVE THE WRONG IDEA
WHEN I JUST PRETEND TO BE
SOPHISTICATED, SO AT EASE,
SO EMOTIONALLY NOT UNSTABLE
SIMPLE DINNER, NOT A DATE, AND I
DRINK MYSELF UNDER THE FREAKIN' TABLE
WHY CAN'T I SIMPLY FIND THE RIGHT GUY
THE STRONG SILENT TYPE WITH A GLEAM IN HIS EYE
WHO SWEEPS ME OFF MY FEET WITHOUT A WORD
WHO MAKES ME SWOON
WHO MAKES ME TREMBLE
WHO DOESN'T IN THE LEAST RESEMBLE
THIS
NICE
NERD

OVER DINNER EVERYTHING YOU SAID
I DIDN'T REALLY HEAR A SINGLE WORD
I JUST SAT THERE NODDING MY HEAD
SMILING LIKE I GOT IT, LIKE I REALLY HEARD
BUT I WAS PLAYING OUT OUR LIVES IN MY MIND
FLASHING FORWARD THROUGH EVERY SEASON, EVERY STAGE
MARRIAGE, KIDS, A HOUSE OF SOME KIND
STRAIGHT ON THROUGH IT ALL AND RIGHT TO OLD AGE
WHEN WE'D BE SITTING IN OUR ROCKING CHAIRS
WATCHING GRANDKIDS PLAYING ON THE LAWN.

A LITTLE FOOT IN MOUTH
A LITTLE TOXIC WATER
I MIGHT AS WELL JUST POISON HER RIGHT NOW, I MEAN WHY WAIT?
I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M BLATH'RING ON AND ON I'VE CLEARLY RUINED
ANY CHANCE WITH HER NOT LIKE I EVER HAD ONE...
AND IT'S REALLY GETTING LATE
