Lyrics
It's a green striped sheet lifted from me
I am free of two very heavy bodies
Once we three had slept soundly
I couldn't keep them around
Fold the blankets down
And found new sleeping ground
Bed springs squeaking
Tires squealing away from one another
We all used to be lovers here
Bodies playing, we'll say they'll
Stay like their boxes stacked the same way
Stay labeled and separated, hey
Go ahead, take the couch
I know I don't want to sit next to nobody
Go ahead, take the fridge
I know I don't want you going hungry, yeah
Go ahead, take the cat
I know you're only gonna be coming back, so
Go ahead, take it all
I know how you've wanting to settle down
Has it always been settling down?
One on the left says to the on the right
"I could make a very good wife for you"
One on the right to the one on the left
"Let's take this one step at a time"
One on the the right says to the one on the left
"You know, I need you all the time"
One on the right says to the one on the left
"I think I've changed my mind"
My insides sing
A song for the sad ones
Who say they'll marry, they guess
She's wearing a white dress if he behaves his very best
A song for the sad ones
Who say they'll marry, they guess
She's wearing a white dress if he behaves his very best
A song for the sad ones
Who say they'll marry, they guess
She's wearing a white dress if he behaves his very, very best
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
Go ahead, take the couch
I know I don't want to sit next to nobody
Go ahead, take the fridge
I know I don't want you going hungry, yeah
Go ahead, take the cat
I know you're only gonna be coming back, so
Go ahead, take it all
I know how you've wanting to settle down
Has it always been settling down?
My elastic, steel, and spring
They will tell you everything
If you lay down for a minute
My elastic, steel, and spring
They will tell you everything
If you lay down for a minute
The mattress maker's making his living by the minute, by the minute
The mattress maker's making his living by the minute, by the minute
The mattress maker's making his living, baby, by, by the minute
The mattress maker's making his living, baby, by the
The mattress maker's making his living, baby, by the
The mattress maker's making his living, baby, by the
