Sunshine through lace curtains
a table set for three
baby in the highchair
mashing up some peas
two cars in the driveway
tulips line the path
barbecue and a kiddie pool
and a swing out in the back

Is that the way
life would be
if you loved me?

After dinner homework
talk shows on TV
reading bedtime stories
if they brush their teeth
every other holiday
with my folks and with yours
taking turns taking out the trash
and sweeping up the floors

Is that the way
life would be
if you loved me?

I know life never turns out
exactly how we plan
Don’t care so much what it looks like,
more that someone understands who I am

Is that the way
life would be
if you loved me?

Is that the way
life would be
if you loved me?
