My Parent's House
Paul Hayden Desser
Time, time when you stayed over
We stayed in bed forever
The mail piled at the door
Time, we lost track of the hours
Pizza boxes tower
The floor beside the bed
Time, our bodies sore from something
It surely wasn't walking
Our friends thought we were dead
And I can't recreate those times we used to have
Without you they'll be bad
Let's meet next month at my parent's house they'll be
Away like they were then
Away like we were then
Time, you met someone new
Someone who likes you
Not like I liked you
Time, you ask him if he'll mind
Of course he'll surely mind
So just leave him for me
And will you meet me and we'll try to set things right
I want things to be right
And I bet we'll stay in bed for days and never leave
I never want to leave
We never have to leave
