Make a little list of the things to get done
Cross 'em off one by one.
I try to keep a home that I'm proud to show
Even though we know what the story is.
When the weather breaks, I make a run for the store.
They're cleaning up on aisle four.
At the register, make a little joke
even though we know know one's listening.
If I don't let you in at the gate
My advice is to wait.
No, I won't let you in every day.
Still, I need you to wait.
This is where she was, when the fever took hold.
Where she would have grown old.
I put the kettle on, til it starts to cry
Even knowing I am standing very close.
Make a little list as I crawl into bed
These are words in my head
I'll take a little trip where the weather's kind
Outrun my mind if I'm fast enough.
