Days and Days
Welcome to our house
On Maple Avenue
See how we polish and we shine
We rearrange and realign
Everything is balanced and... And...
Days, and days, and days
That's how it happens
Days, and days, and days
Made of lunches
And car rides
And shirts and socks
And grades
And piano
And no one clocks the day you disappear
Days, and days, and days
That's how it happens
Days, and days, and days
Made of posing
And bragging
And fits of rage
And boys, my god, some of them underage!
And, oh, how did it all happen here?
There was a time your father swept me off my feet with words
We read books
Strolled through Munich at night
Drank beer with friends
Discussed the places we would go
And he said I understood how the world made him ache
But no, but no...
That's how it happens
Days
Made of bargains I made because I thought as a wife I was meant to
And now my life is shattered and laid bare
Days, and days, and days, and days
And days, and days, and days
Welcome to our house on Maple Avenue
See how we polish and we shine
We rearrange and realign
Everything is balanced and serene
Like chaos never happens if it's never seen
Don't you come back here
I didn't raise you
To give away your days
Like me
