Wake up and try
 you're not listening
 and neither am i
 but it's only a matter of time
 before we're walking out the door

 sit with me on the bed
 and stop pacing and pacing instead
 cuz it's only a matter of when
 this heart to heart will end

 but oh before we go
 goodbye safety breaks
 goodbye baby clothes
 as you describe a straight line through all these rooms

 i want you to put your hands on my face [bad word] them over and over and trace
 the lines that are starting to indicate
 how long i've been in this place

 the sun shines all day
 on the curb where our valuables lay
 waiting all to be taken away
 like we brought them in before

 stand with me in the den
 the white walls and bare carpet again
 it was warm now it's empty and dead
 and we [bad word] back again

 but oh before we go
 goodbye tv trays
 goodbye baby clothes
 as you describe a straight line through all these rooms
 through birthday parties
 late night laundry
 baby's brides and grooms

 i want you to put your hands on my face [bad word] them over and over and trace
 the lines that are starting to indicate
 how long i have been in this place
 the lines that are starting to indicate
 how long we've been in this place.
