lyrics

Stop me from wanting to be alone
Call me on my dumbass phone
Did we throw out that old green tent
No, you're not hearing what I meant

Gotta re-paint this whole porch
The Thompsons filed for divorce
I'm not sure who's moving out
Could be they're both moving out

A DOG IN A TREE / where's it going
Look at me / where are you looking
Don't rake the leaves / who are you fooling
It comes back to me

Return
Come back
Come home

All birds grow then fly away
Nothing gold or tin can stay
Lawns get brown, knock down the shed
Put some rocks out there instead

A DOG IN A TREE / where's it going
Look at me / where are you looking
Don't rake the leaves / who are you fooling
Just leave them be

Come back
Move home
Come home

We'll all leave with a trace
A happy couple takes our place
And when their house falls apart
They'll be a marking on the chart

I feel awfully bad // for Jeff Thompson
I barely even know // Wendy Thompson
Is her last name // even Thompson?
Where do their girls go to school?

Go to school
Go to school
Go to school
