lyrics

I miss the time we used to take to recite the things that ruined our days.
Some nights we didn't even think to get some sleep,
And we used to lose control over the stupidest jokes
And laugh 'til we hurt our faces like a pair of basket cases.

When you came by the office today, you took my by surprise.
It's nice to see a smiling face every once in a while.
It reminds me of when I was still child,
And Mom would smile all day.

I hate how hard our lives have gotten
I wish we had more time to waste,
Just you and me and the schemes we'd get caught in.
We'd spend more on food and eat for the taste.
I'm tired of the haste, and only having time for two meals a day.

I want to sleep in, wake up, and find you're still home,
But you're busy, so you get up and leave me alone.
Then we go our separate ways, and I sit in a box 'til the end of the day.
Then I'd read your face, but it's already been read
It's not that I'm not interested in you, it's just it's all been said
And I already know exactly how your day went
And our conversation are all but spent.

Lets quit our jobs and leave,
Can you imagine how it must feel to be free?
It's not too late to choose how our lives will be.

We'll go and find simpler places
and always wake to one another's faces,
We'll laugh, and laugh like a pair of basket cases.

Lets quit our jobs and leave,
Can you imagine how it must feel to be free?
It's not too late to choose how our lives will be.
