My Life Is At Home Lyrics
I was just thinking
Most of last Wednesday
I hope we're together from here
Until doomsday
We could be each other's arms
We'd keep each other free from harm
Cause when it's all stripped to the bone
My life is at home
The spring cleaning's coming
As we lose the cold weather, so
Put away your long johns
All your thick sweaters
And we'll cut off all our winter hair
Sit out on the lawn chairs
The sun forgets that we're here
We forget our careers
CHORUS:
But all the lukewarm weeks
Sixty degrees
Now we're hoping it's humid
Show our sun-burned knees
Once in a lifetime
Once in a while
The sun will shine on me
It's Thursday, I'm leaving
Skip town, I'm runnin'
It's cars and new faces
And jokes that aren't funny
But we laugh at them anyway
Do anything just to kill the day
No matter how far that I go
Not so far away
CHORUS x 2
All the humid nights
Out under streetlights
And my baby's riding shotgun
In the knee-high tights
She looks like heaven
I feel like the devil
In my Sunday whites
Because once in a while
The sun shines on me
Most of last Wednesday
I hope we're together from here
Until doomsday
We could be each other's arms
We'd keep each other free from harm
Cause when it's all stripped to the bone
My life is at home
As we lose the cold weather, so
Put away your long johns
All your thick sweaters
And we'll cut off all our winter hair
Sit out on the lawn chairs
The sun forgets that we're here
We forget our careers
But all the lukewarm weeks
Sixty degrees
Now we're hoping it's humid
Show our sun-burned knees
Once in a lifetime
Once in a while
The sun will shine on me
Skip town, I'm runnin'
It's cars and new faces
And jokes that aren't funny
But we laugh at them anyway
Do anything just to kill the day
No matter how far that I go
Not so far away
Out under streetlights
And my baby's riding shotgun
In the knee-high tights
She looks like heaven
I feel like the devil
In my Sunday whites
The sun shines on me

Sometimes we get caught up in our careers and our lives. It seems like the only way to find happiness is to travel far away and experience different, interesting things, but, in reality, when you find the person that makes you happy that's what is important. Sitting at home with someone you love can be just as rewarding and entertaining as traveling to a far away place or doing something crazy.
This song was important to me when I started a relationship with a boy where I live, after being in a long distance relationship for a while. Yep.
I love this song. I kind of scratched my head at this record when it first came out but the more I listen to it, the more it grows on me. Davey's definitely a great poet.
Wow, never noticed how much this song relates to me. At first, I liked this song because it was dedicated to someone I liked but was to afraid to say anything to. But now, that we're going out, this song is totally about a relationship like the one I have.
