Paperwork and calls to make
Bills at home unpaid
Future's in the background
Casting shadows on the day
Reaching for a higher rung
Trying to get ahead
Missing things I'd rather do instead
I want you to have what
Money can provide
Though all that you've ever
Asked for is my time
Motivation's fading with
The last rays of daylight
And there's nowhere else I'd rather be thank
In your arms tonight
Tried to set this feeling down
With paper pad and pen
Searching for some metaphor
To frame our love song in
Toyed around with imagery
But couldn't find a fit
Worldly things don't measure up to it
All these lines I'm towing
My attempts at art
Can't express the simplest
Feelings of my heart
What's the use in writing if
My words can't tell it right?
And there's nowhere else I'd rather be
Than in your arms tonight
