Let's Stay Home
How about we stay home this weekend
Some time with you I’d love to spend
Years of matrimony evanesced, let’s pretend
And once again try to be just good friends
Actually, go outside and knock on the door
Let me welcome you and take your coat
I’ll make you a cup of your favorite ginger tea
And listen to you with all honesty
Let’s forget the groceries, bills and the pantry
Just talk about the man you want to be
Tell me your worst fears; where does it hurt
Which dreams of yours lay covered in dirt
I’ll try to look into your brown beautiful eyes
Without expecting any promises or replies
The life we share-its busy, its good
But I haven’t asked about the sore corn on your foot
Did I forget? I don’t even recall, what a shame
The music you stir into the last syllable of my name
Let’s start to unlearn, let’s come undone
Alien they seem-the versions of us we’ve become
Let’s stay in. I’ll call the hosts; I’ll take responsibility
We are popular enough at parties already
