Black Picket Fence
I'm so sorry that your will's been broken
We fell asleep with the windows open
'Cause keeping this apartment cool's expensive
Someday our lives will be admired
But I know right now your body is tired
From working every day
To barely even make enough to pay the bills
One day at a time now, honey
And I wish that we had more money
To take some weight off of your shoulders
When we're older, I swear we'll have it made
I wanna give you a picket fence and a
Nice house to raise our kids and a
A peace of mind to relieve your stress
But all you ever ask for is my best
Take a gamble on a brand new city
And pray to God that things will be less shitty
Said goodbye to all our friends and family
But winter's coming and we love cold weather
Got decent jobs and things are getting better
Who knew twenty-three would demand so much from me
It's exhausting
One day at a time now, honey
And I wish that we had more money
To take some weight off of your shoulders
When we're older, I swear we'll have it made
I wanna give you a picket fence and a
Nice house to raise our kids and a
A peace of mind to relieve your stress
But all you ever ask for is my best
I'll be yours 'til everything goes dark
They'll bury us together if they're smart
Bodies intertwined like ancient art
'Cause we've never slept six feet apart
We fell asleep with the windows open
'Cause keeping this apartment cool's expensive
Someday our lives will be admired
But I know right now your body is tired
From working every day
To barely even make enough to pay the bills
One day at a time now, honey
And I wish that we had more money
To take some weight off of your shoulders
When we're older, I swear we'll have it made
I wanna give you a picket fence and a
Nice house to raise our kids and a
A peace of mind to relieve your stress
But all you ever ask for is my best
Take a gamble on a brand new city
And pray to God that things will be less shitty
Said goodbye to all our friends and family
But winter's coming and we love cold weather
Got decent jobs and things are getting better
Who knew twenty-three would demand so much from me
It's exhausting
One day at a time now, honey
And I wish that we had more money
To take some weight off of your shoulders
When we're older, I swear we'll have it made
I wanna give you a picket fence and a
Nice house to raise our kids and a
A peace of mind to relieve your stress
But all you ever ask for is my best
I'll be yours 'til everything goes dark
They'll bury us together if they're smart
Bodies intertwined like ancient art
'Cause we've never slept six feet apart
