Anytime Soon

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] Nothing'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 [Verse 2] 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 blushin' bride, I was your nervous groom But now we're just more comfortable sleepin' in separate rooms, oh [Chorus] Nothing'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 [Verse 3] 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, whoa [Chorus] Nothing's gonna change here anytime soon When it's all unpredictable, I can still count on you Lookin' for the mailbox with the red balloons I'll be late to the party, but I have an excuse 'Cause no one likes breakin' bad news It's nothing I'm wantin' to do Not anytime, anytime soon
