lyrics

Your keys are balanced on my thigh
The little scuba fin dangling off one side
I'm in the driver's seat, the engine is still warm
And you're inside with your dad saying goodbye

Today, the dog is dead
I wish I wasn't such a stranger
Thinking in terms of now or later
And how I'll be irritated later on

But if you want
Then we can talk about it
I'll hold my tongue
As long as I can manage

Your mother should have been here too
If she were she'd bring the center of her world
It seems to travel where she goes, right now that's wasting time at home
Like six years are so easy to forget

She has her talents on display
In a contrast sharp and clear
Thank god that TV's up upon that wall
Better than time spent thinking bout a dog
