Things

Here comes the thunder

And here comes the fear

Another year she wonders

"Why am I still here?"

"Oh, boys will be boys", she thinks

What will ever come of this?

I've tried so hard to make this work

But nothing ever seems to fit

So many explanations

So little resolve

A shudder at the slightest inkling

That you should get involved

"Oh, but I'm alright", she cried

"I just feel a little compromised

When I was a little girl

I never had to try"

Is that all you want?

Is that all you need?

Look at all these things we own

Look at all these things we own

You know these things don't make a home(Is that all you want?)

Look at all these things we own(Is that all you need?)

Look at all these things we own(Is that all?)

You know these things don't make a home

Here comes the thunder

And here comes the fear

Another year he wonders

Why is she still here?

Oh but girls will be girls, he thinks(Girls will be girls)

What will ever come of this?

We've tried so hard to make this work

But nothing ever seems to fit(Is that all you want? Is that all you need?)

Look at all these things we own

You know these things don't make a home(Is that all you want?)
