Honest Wage
When you called, it was loud
I got angry
I was everything but sober
I said things that were ruthless
And I meant 'em
But you told me to come over
You say he's in town, and you're crying
You're throwing him one hell of a party
So I hang up and start shaking
Thinking, "you never threw one for me"
I wish it was easier to kiss you on the mouth
Like it is to work hard and earn an honest wage
But you're not always fair to me, like I wish you would be
He's the one who left home, and I'm the one who stayed
So I drove when I shouldn't
But I'll make it, I'm feeling alright
You walk out, I'm a mess
You look perfect
I figured you might
Next thing I know, I'm exploding
And everything feels awful and wrong
And he's there, right beside you
But the music inside is our song
And I wish it was easier
To kiss you on the mouth
Like it is to work hard
And earn an honest wage
But you're not always fair to me, no
Like I wish you would be
He's the one who left home
And I'm the one who stayed
I wish it was easier
To kiss you on the mouth
Like it is to work hard
And earn an honest wage
But you're not always fair to me
Like I wish you would be
He's the one who left home
But I'm the one who stayed
I wish it was easier
To kiss you on the mouth
Like it is to work hard
And earn an honest wage
But you're not always fair to me
Like I wish you would be
He's the one who left home
And I'm the one who stayed
I wish it was easier
To kiss you on the mouth
Like it is to work hard
And earn an honest wage
But you're not always fair to me, no
Like I wish you would be
He's the one who left home
I'm the one who stayed
I wish it was easier
To kiss you on the mouth
Like it is to work hard
And earn an honest wage
But you're not always fair to me
Like I wish you would be
He's the one who left home
And I'm the one who stayed
I just get so angry when
You say you love him so
I wanna be more like him
I wanna know there's hope
I got angry
I was everything but sober
I said things that were ruthless
And I meant 'em
But you told me to come over
You say he's in town, and you're crying
You're throwing him one hell of a party
So I hang up and start shaking
Thinking, "you never threw one for me"
I wish it was easier to kiss you on the mouth
Like it is to work hard and earn an honest wage
But you're not always fair to me, like I wish you would be
He's the one who left home, and I'm the one who stayed
So I drove when I shouldn't
But I'll make it, I'm feeling alright
You walk out, I'm a mess
You look perfect
I figured you might
Next thing I know, I'm exploding
And everything feels awful and wrong
And he's there, right beside you
But the music inside is our song
And I wish it was easier
To kiss you on the mouth
Like it is to work hard
And earn an honest wage
But you're not always fair to me, no
Like I wish you would be
He's the one who left home
And I'm the one who stayed
I wish it was easier
To kiss you on the mouth
Like it is to work hard
And earn an honest wage
But you're not always fair to me
Like I wish you would be
He's the one who left home
But I'm the one who stayed
I wish it was easier
To kiss you on the mouth
Like it is to work hard
And earn an honest wage
But you're not always fair to me
Like I wish you would be
He's the one who left home
And I'm the one who stayed
I wish it was easier
To kiss you on the mouth
Like it is to work hard
And earn an honest wage
But you're not always fair to me, no
Like I wish you would be
He's the one who left home
I'm the one who stayed
I wish it was easier
To kiss you on the mouth
Like it is to work hard
And earn an honest wage
But you're not always fair to me
Like I wish you would be
He's the one who left home
And I'm the one who stayed
I just get so angry when
You say you love him so
I wanna be more like him
I wanna know there's hope
