Two Story House

I have just worked a 12-hour day,
what do you want me to do
Help get the kids ready for bed,
you know I worked 12 hours too
And they need to see you, you’re never around
It’s not like I’m out on the town
I’d love to relax but I can’t find the time
It feels like I’m climbing a hill
At least you get out of this house sometimes
I feel like I’m all by myself
I wish you’d come home, show me that you care
Why do you think I go out there
Chorus:
We’re living in a two story house, on last chance avenue
And the windows only look out
Why can’t we change the view of a two story house
Where did they go, the dreams that we shared
This is not the life we had planned
You can’t live on dreams, look this just isn’t fair
I’m doing the best that I can
Nothing comes easy, you have to work hard
What good is it all if I don’t know who you are
Chorus:
We’re living in a two story house, on last chance avenue
And the windows only look out
Why can’t we change the view of a two story house
And Alice lives in wonderland
Jack won’t come down from his hill
Pages keep turning, the bridges keep burning
No listening, no learning until
I’m taking the kids, I’m moving back home
I can’t go on living this way
If you’re gonna leave, then you go alone
You take what you want, they stay
How could you be so cruel, how could you be so blind
Someday you’ll look back
and you’ll know I was right (you’ll see that I’m right)
Chorus:
Oh two story house, it’s our last chance avenue
Can’t we can’t we please work it out
I remember when you loved me
And I still do
