last night we watched our favorite tv shows you packed my lunch for wednesday s shift i laid out my clothes i took my time to say goodnight before you closed your eyes the hallway light reveals how you were taking up my side that dress you wore is faded to the ivory that remains the frame of wedding pictures looks ten years out of date the toaster s been replaced since we even thanked them for the thought the last time that we kissed i saw you checking out the clock what about now she says to herself and what about now what about now she says to herself she says to herself the council of the wise can be the only way you go in alcohol will somehow let us know your mom and dad were right to tell us maybe we should wait yet ten years down the road it seems maybe it s too late what about now she says to herself and what about now what about now she says to herself she says to herself goodnight goodnight i wish you d stay i wish you d stay
