The Promise Ring - My Life Is at Home lyrics

rate me

At the top of the world

There is a half-year sun

The water's all froze

And one thousand men old

On the side of the hill

There are no wanting eyes

But you're a spectacle a spinning doll

Now the hour is fading but ours is staying

Its all syncopated to your heart's hard heartbeat time

You may never miss a sign

At the base of your skull

I've got a place there still

All my clothes spread out aI 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

In a permanent row

Now the hour is fading but ours is staying

It's all syncopated to your hearts hard heartbeat time

We will never not get together

We will never not get too old

The water's all frozen one

And I've got a place there still

And we will not get too old
