lyrics

Been long enough for it to be the norm
Went from partying to trading off the evening chores
In the tiny kitchen where the casseroles cook
Pulling recipes from them old family notebooks
Flowers in the front, chickens in the backyard
Feet up on the couch cause we work so damn hard
I was anti-everything eating stone soup
Now, we feasting in the living room with tv shows cued
Love was once a word that we hesitantly swore
Yesterday I said before heading to the store
Split the bill in two, cop the sheet and pillow set
I think it’s time for us to up and leave this little nest
To a ranch on the river, a cottage in the grove
An apartment in the city or a tower made of stone
A spot in Suburbia, crowded in the rows
You and I can turn any house into a home

I've been working towards better days
To make this house a home
Been changing my old ways
I'm tired of feeling alone
Now that I found it I can't
Imagine life without it anymore

We’ll prolly spend a decade living pay day to paday
We’ll definitely fight, we may take a vacay
Travel out the country, and circumvent the globe
But my time is better spent where I spend it most
The driveway that I shovel in December in the snow
The open door for folks without anywhere to go
The wooden boxes built for the vegetables we grow
The empty nursery we hopes eventually full
I’ve never been the fixer upper man
But this is way too damn good and we might not get another chance
It needs a lot of work, prolly more than meets the eye
You can paint the naked walls, while I fix the leaky pipes
You handle spinning saws, while I dust and clean the blinds
We’ll take turns sorting out the stuff we’ll leave behind
We’ll dirty up the hands of fate with blood and sweat and tears
You’re someone that I chose so let’s build a nest to share
Whether ranch on the river, a cottage in the grove
An apartment in the city or a tower made of stone
A spot in Suburbia, crowded in the rows
You and I can turn any house into a home
