This is Better

Oh, what a day this has been
Up at 3 am and back down again
Broke the morning's dawn with my best friend
He's slept inside my bed since the vows we said.
Outside in the backyard the children Drink up all the light
They chase the chickens round, peals of delight.
Smell of bacon lingers in the air...
I'll leave the laundry for another hour
If I'd finished school,
And you’d climbed the corporate ladder
We could have that bigger place,
Our pockets would be fatter,
Oh no now baby, let's steal away
This is better than a Roth IRA
Bit by bit you know it took some time to unwind
From head-over-our-heels, to the daily grind
I'd rather be broke with you
And have this softer heart.
It warms me up inside to be your counterpart.
Sometimes it's all we can do
To get up out of bed
Just to tie our shoelaces
And keep the household fed
Oh no now look at what we can make:
This is better than that cruise we didn't take.
We're folded up here in this house
Like a pack o' sardines
I'm ready for some room, unfold my wings.
You and I, we learn our lessons the hard way
Always diggin’ up all the gold from the clay...
Hardest part about living is the day-to-day
It's the best thing we've got
This home that we've made.
I'm glad to weave my world with you
This is one thing ain't no one can undo.
Sometimes it's all we can do
To get up out of bed
Just to tie our shoelaces
And keep the household fed
Oh no now look at what we can make:
This is better than a Roth IRA

The Liar

There was a fire, cross the fairway from our home
The son was a liar, come he started it all alone
hairspray and a lighter, burnin bugs up in the eves
The fire department didn't get there leaving only ash and grief
Then there were hours, sitting up there on the roof
We were inspired by the sunset and the folly of our youth
Then we started slippin’ backward Grasping desperately at straw
Crying out to Jesus cause a myth was all we saw
Easter morning seemed so holy God I swear I’d made it through
At the sound of a cracked bell the hand I brushed was you
Ashes in the garden Growing hops and holly-hocks
Answers in the roses, and the aspen leaves that dropped
SETH: There was a fire, in a dream I had last night
CHINA: You were beside me and your eyes were shining bright
BOTH: woke up in a cold sweat I was searching for first light
We had been rubbing sticks together to suddenly ignite
SETH ONLY: There was a fire, cross the fairway from our home
The bastard was a liar, ‘cose he started it on his own.
