lyrics

It’s just you and I and the pup here
I hope you know that’s all I need
On the corduroy couch not knowing what to watch
On my shoulder already asleep

I don’t need another night out
But you know we don’t have to stay in
You don’t need to be sorry either way
I will do the dishes tonight
Can you please just go and sit down
You’re allowed to have a bad day

It’s just you and I and this house on the hill
With a view full of frangipanis
At the breakfast table wishing we didn’t have to work
Eating from bowls full of anxieties

But it's a gift to come home to you
So let's push each other out through the door
And we’ll try very our best to find a way
To make it through the hi's and the smiles
All the small talk amongst the aisles
You’re allowed to have a bad day

And sometimes you’ll have to come and get me
Because I don’t know how I got there
And other times take me to the emergency ward
'Cause y'know, this shit isn’t fair

We’re gonna find better jobs
We’re gonna get to follow a dream
Everything will fall right into place
We are going to figure it out
We are going to figure it out
But for now, we’ve gotta keep a brave face
‘Cause there’s always gonna be a bad day
There’s always gonna be a bad day
And it’s okay to have a bad day

This one took a few listens. The first time, it went in all at once, like a corkscrew punched through the soft slab of abdomen, there on my side. I hardly noticed. Then it started to jiggle and wriggle around in there, and slowly — twist by twist, track by track — I came to realize what a bloody, brilliant mess I had on my hands. veryvery
