Common Rotation - What We Have Now lyrics

She's got curls to straighten out He's got an answer for everything You can see the movie that's about But you can't really talk until you've been See them all coming up for air We're oh so tired with something to show Recognize her footstep sound on the stairs Listen up high but talk low A car in every front lawn More time in every clock A girl in every doorway A bar on every block What we have now... I'll find the chord to ignore And a reason outside the gate Won't do these chores no more Dinner shifts and coffee breaks How these ticks of desperation Turn to looks of sophistication How that "do or die" front nose Turns to strands of her wedding clothes A car on every front lawn More time in every clock A girl in every doorway A bar on every block What we have now... The absence of what is wrong Doesn't something good make If you're not leaving for too long We could something good take Because the presence of what is right Helps to shape the baby's bite But if you leave me on a train You could render me the same A ring in every church bell More time in every clock A train at every station And a drink at every stop What we have now...
