You're Not Coming Home Tonight
Yeah you cooked his dinnersYou raised his childrenStill he's not satisfiedHe says "I'd rather switch with youYou don't know how hard it isTo work from 9 to 5"
But he speaks with his eyes closedAnd even though you're not all aloneHe's never there to be with youAnd you remember when you were youngWhen life was new and it was funNow every corner's filled with dust
But you're not coming home tonight
You just took the trainAnd you left without a waveFigured he'd never let you leave anywayAnd now you're sitting on that trainSeeing life in a new wayAnd every forest sings a song
One for the heartbroken loversAnd one for the dreamersAnd then there's one just for youThe winds been humming on it all dayAns the soil lies awakeWaiting for it's drum solo
'Cause you're not coming home tonight
The ship is sailingI'll meet you on the other sideThe future's unclearBut hopefully it will be fine
You're not coming home tonight
