We Grew Up a Little Bit
(Indisponível)
We got married early
And just a little bit late
Baby came too early
But some things just can't wait
We were just beginning
But it was very clear
We grew up a little bit that year
I caught on as a meter man
You were caught at home
When i started night school
You ended up alone
But you had another baby
While i had my career
And we grew up a little bit
We grew up a little bit
We grew up a little bit that year
They put me in a office job
A young man on the move
We bought a house in shaker heights
You supervised the move
We were cashing checks, you were changing children
While i played engineer
And we were growing ever faster
Every year
I got bored of kilowatts
You were tired of kids
I started staying out at night
And soon that's what you did
At parties we'd go seperately
You'd wiggle and i'd leer
And we were growing faster
We were growing ever faster
We were growing ever faster every year
You learned to live in silence
I learned to live in lies
And we both igored the empty spaces
Growing in our eyes
Your breath became a gin and tonic
Mine became a beer
And we grew up a little more last year
Today at work they passed me by
And promoted john instead
I came home to find you'd wrecked the car
I guess i lost my head
Well, i can't believe i hit you
But the rage came on so strong
Ah, where did we go wrong?
As you sit there crying
I wonder who you are
The partner-stranger-friend and foe
Who's come with me this far
We stand here in the ashes
And i guess it is quite clear
We did not really grow too much
Each year
So yo
