Anytime Soon

You could come around once a year

Like a Christmas ghost

Or hold me down like an anchor, baby

But you can't do both

I can't be your father figure

But I could be your friend

Watch me burn my candle crazy

At both ends

Nothin's gonna change here anytime soon

Catchin' fish in the mornin', get drunk before noon

Watchin' little brown bubbles floatin' in the spoon

Could be soakin' in a warm bath or back in the womb

Anytime, anytime soon

Used to want to be an astronaut

But I was just a kid

Spent my days in a batting cage

Where a robot pitched

Once you were my blushing bride

I was your nervous groom

But now we're just more comfortable

Sleepin' in separate rooms

Nothin's gonna change here anytime soon

Make a bed for the roses, hope that they bloom

I don't know if it's safe, but I just assume

I won't play in the majors or walk on the moon

Not anytime, anytime soon

Spin me a tornado, honey

Cry me a monsoon

Let's just get through the holidays

And the terrible twos

Christmas has passed

It's just yellow snow

Sometimes you gotta hear somethin'

That you already know

Nothin's gonna change here anytime soon

When it's all unpredictible, I can still count on you

Lookin' for the mailbox with the red balloons

I'll be late to the party, and I have an excuse

Cuz no one likes breakin' bad news

It's nothin' I'm wantin' to do

Not anytime, anytime soon
