lyrics
someday i'll wake you softly with lullabies
we'll take on the day with nothing to fear
and i'd like to feel your pulse in the morningtime
i'll ask you who you want to be
and where you want to go
someday
someday we'll leave the party early
and we might take the long way home
and someday we'll pay our bills with whiskey by our sides
and we'll do all the dishes
with the radio playing our favorite song
someday i'll trade my wisdom for bravery
i'll clear out the way when you want to go
but we'll have our time to make this feel holy
so babe, i will love you
while i can.

I once drove to Canada from Philly blasting nothing but this album for the entire trip. I also play track 2 & 3 on repeat when I am washing dishes and need to simultaneously have an epic dance party. Mel Hsu
