Family of Six

I'd like to think that I could have a deer in sight

And pull the trigger

Oh, what a time to be alive

Yeah, what a time to cross my fingers

And what if Arizona

Was right next to the ocean?

What if I wasn't a bitch?

If a mountain was a canyon

If I was a mechanic

And the gaslight was something I fixed

Remember when they told ya it gets better when you're older

Well, for now, I still feel like a kid

'Cause if ya never showed me Bambi

I could breathe instead of panic

I'd provide for a family of six

A family of

I'd like to think I could have fought in Vietnam

If I was told to

Cross my heart, I swear to God, I hope to die

I'll tell the whole truth

If it's cold on the equator

I was never motivated by all this guilt

If the Arctic is a hot tub

And arson is the right stuff

To mend every bridge that I've built

Oh, you just gotta believe me

If I tell you anything

I haven't told a lie

In a really long time

Last night, I started crying

In the kitchen, I was eating

I'm an overly sensitive guy

And I think

Well, it doesn't really matter what I think

Throw the whole thing at it, throw the kitchen sink

Never mind, I take it back, I was just kidding

And I swear

Man, I'm sorry, I forget where I was going there

Where the hell we go next? I don't even care

But if they ain't splitting checks, I ain't eating there

I'm scared to think I'll end up making up my mind

And learn the hard way

That everything comes with a price

Every decision starts a new thing

If hell is freezing over

There's a devil on my shoulder in an anorak jacket

Said, "The sun and stars and moon are all revolving around you

If you wanna eat a cake and have it"

As sure as changing seasons, there's an angel labeled reason

Drawing lines in the sand

Said, "Whatever you decide won't really impact our survival

Close your eyes and do the best that you can"

Do the best that you can
