You're only halfway

Through your working day

I'm sorry honey

But we both need your pay


I'm sorry about everything I've put you through

I'm sorry about getting by on making do


Every day is just like starting over

We try so hard but we keep on falling over

Every day is just like starting over

We try so hard but we keep on falling over

Every day is just like starting over

We try so hard but we keep on falling over


You're worried and I have my doubts

But I'm drunk when I text

So I send 'post soothing out'

I just had a nasty flashback

We both used our cards for cash back

Hard way to explain

Why my pockets are full of change


Every day is just like starting over

We try so hard but we keep on falling over

Every day is just like starting over

We try so hard but we keep on falling over

Every day is just like starting over

We try so hard but we keep on falling over


River deep and mountain high

There's some lyrics that'll never apply

'Cause I don't lie awake at night

With thoughts of river depth or mountain height


Don't care what your parents say

It won't always be this way, I

Don't care what your parents say

It won't always be this way, I

Don't care what your parents say

It won't always be this way, you're

Only halfway through your working day


I've met your parents

And I know it sounds rough

But I'm gonna be out, 

When they come for your stuff

So cheer up now, it's not all doom and gloom

They never got around to decorating your room
