lyrics

in another world
it’s me & you
driving our kids to school

in that universe
you shoot some hoops
after ring toss in the pool

and we pick tomatoes for the salad
and chop them roughly with the greens
and you pick the record as i squeeze your shoulder
and we do this every night and we grow older

in another life
we drive out east
for our anniversary

and for twenty-five
maybe thirty
we plant a willow tree

and we pick tomatoes for the salad
and chop them roughly with the greens
and you pick the record as i squeeze your shoulder
and we do this happily as we grow older

it’s not the one we’re living
it’s not the one we’re in
but can’t you almost taste them
can’t you feel their skin

we won’t pick tomatoes for the salad
and chop them roughly with the greens
you won’t pick the record as i squeeze your shoulder
we won’t do this anymore as we grow older

so i’ll pick tomatoes for the salad
and chop them roughly with the greens
you can’t pick the record as i squeeze your shoulder
you can’t do it, but you know you’ll still grow older
