if tomorrow i could just wake up beside you see the mornin sunlight spill across your face through the window that looks out on our front porch where i can hear the bare feet of our children play well that might be a place i d like to stay if i could buy a boat i d cross an ocean but i ain t got enough to buy a clue so i lie here on the floor and hand myself a couple more and i wonder how i ll make it back to you and the truth is love that s all i ever do oh but i ll paint on a smile and i ll pretend that it s alright and die a little more underneath this damn spotlight tell myself this time round i ll get it right but that s a lie that i tell myself to just get by i know you got boys sleepin there beside you both with curly hair and eyes so blue i know it s hard after awhile but i miss every smile finally i realize the truth and the only good thing i ever did to you oh but i ll paint on a smile and i ll pretend that it s alright and die a little more underneath this damn spotlight tell myself this time round i ll get it right but that s a lie that i tell myself to just get by oh but i ll paint on a smile and i ll pretend that it s alright and die a little more underneath this damn spotlight tell myself this time round i ll get it right but that s a lie that i tell myself to just get by
