Wake up
Get dressed
Off to work
wanting to be making love to you instead
Out making money
Punching a clock
Put up with ******* until your day is done
Pick up the baby
Run to the store
Figure out what's for dinner
Now your day's almost done for
Cook and clean
Do the dishes that are ***** in the sink
Put in a load of laundry
Then finally we get to speak
"How was your day baby?"
"Mine was fine." I reply
Now it's late
Put on our pj's
hop into bed
But wait someone wants you to tuck them in
Exhausted now
Just want to sleep
Didn't get to make love to you again
It's been a week
We will try for that tomorrow
Tonight lets just sleep
Just dose off it seems
The alarm clock rings
Make breakfast
Get dressed
Off to work again
Drop off your kid at daycare
Same ole thing day after day
Caught up in a rat race that never seems to end
The same ole job
Same old dull routine
Why keep doing this to us?
Give it your all just to try and make ends meet
A two bedroom house for your family of three
The common things in life are what you have to do you see
I guess that's why most people's dreams don't ever come true
Why is life so cliche'
How does happiness ever get to exist
When so much gets in the way of this
What does it take for love to conquer all?
Is it rising every time you fall?
It's no wonder most relationships don't make it now days
Call me a hopeless romantic but I don't think it has to be that way
I may not know a lot about life
But I know one thing to be true
the everyday things in life won't ever change the way I feel
in my heart for you
and that my darling is a love that will remain nothing but true
I'll withstand the force of the blow and I will shelter you.
I won't let the common things take away the magic we discovered
in our first kiss
We are epic and our ending is set
the way the universe says it will be
So don't worry about the everyday common routines
because those don't define what love is
and that is you and me.
