"Daily Routine"

Woke up with the phone next to my head
By the time I get around to gettin' out of bed
She'll be halfway through her daily routine
Shoes, shirt, jacket, coffee, keys, cigarette
Out the door with a lazy swagger in my step
Keep my momentum, and try hard not to lose steam

And while she's dreamin' 'bout the ocean
I will be dreamin' up a plan
To keep these wheels in constant motion
And in the meantime we'll just do what we can

So I cross the bridge and punch the clock
Hit the wall pretty hard about two o'clock
I start thinkin' 'bout where I'd rather be
'Cause I been gettin' pretty good at gettin' all worked up
It used to be that I just never really gave a fuck
Now all these little things weigh so heavy on me

And while I'm tyin' on another
She's tyin' up all her loose ends
It makes me think about my brothers
And how I wish I was closer to them

So now I'm stumbling home through the park
I hate the weather and how early it gets dark
But summer's coming like some long holiday
What she needs is some sunshine on her face
A change in temperature, a change of pace
Come on honey you've been so - so far away

You just keep dreamin' 'bout that ocean
And I swear I'll dream us up a plan
To keep these wheels in constant motion
And in the meantime we'll just do what we can
In the meantime we'll just do what we can
In the meantime we'll just do what we can
