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
