lyrics

Day pass adventure, a ride in the park
Coming home after dark
Reap what you sow, watch what you say
Better off anyway.
The rules that we're breaking, the recipe's shaken.
I would rather be in love.
Making plans you can't make and
For goodness sake man
Don't you know your calendar.

Been here forever, always a renter
Never understood the rush
Now I've gone grey and still want to stay
on a Hill with everything.

What's your recipe for a happy, healthy family?
A little bit spicy and sweet, for the greenest of the leaves
of a family tree.

I would rather be in love.

40th birthdays don't get too crazy,
Everybody's cool enough.
I'm back on my beets, you can see it in my teeth.
Keep the kids out of the street.

I can feel it in my bones,
Like bad news on the phone.
Anyone can roam,
but the good ones come right home
After wandering.

I would rather be in love.

My lazy, wandering eye
From the good ones for a time.
The lasers that we tried
Took the greenest from my eyes
From my family tree.

I would rather be in love.
