coffee stains - possum pirate lyrics

i work full*time hours
just for part time pay
sometimes the days are long
but i enjoy it anyway
i try to save my money
i go out to eat too much
i go back to school this winter
i don’t see you near enough

you said you’d be a teacher
just like my mom and dad
and i think that’s amazing
but good lord, the pay is bad
and maybe after grad school
i could get a job up north
try to have it all together
but i know that never works

would you take coffee stains?
on everything?
would you take a little house?
maybe 40 years of working
before we find our own way out?
and the dog i always wanted
sits with your cat by the door
would you love me
if i couldn’t givе you more?
i won’t romanticize a mortgage
bеcause i still don’t trust the banks
and i’m grateful both our parents
still had jobs after ‘08
but i’d make every little payment
if it meant we’d have a place
i don’t mind to do the dishes
if you just hand me the plates

we would have to have a front porch
that i’d play music on
and i would sing off key
and i’d get the words all wrong
bring you coffee in the morning *
that can always be my job
you forget, and never drink it
but i’d make another pot

would you take coffee stains?
on everything?
would you take a little house?
maybe 40 years of working
before we find our own way out?
and the dog i always wanted
sits with your cat by the door
would you love me
if i couldn’t give you more?
and i’ll try to keep your flowers
in the kitchen looking fresh
it’d be hard to keep a garden
but it isn’t ruled out yet
it may not be a mansion
but the house is by the park
i’ll count down all the years
you just tell me when to start
we’ll get benefits and wages
make a list before the store
tell each other about our day over dinner
and i’m sure
that i could never ask for more
