While All The While

Get out of bed

Go downstairs

I put the TV on to catch the morning news

The furnace kicks on

Put my clothes on

Open up the curtains

And let the sun shine through

I put my coffee in the console

Get stuck at the light

While all the while

You're still on my mind

I see a work friend

I give 'em a smile

We both lie and say we should have a drink some time

I eat a piece of cake

It's somebody's birthday

I go back to my desk

Look out the window for awhile

At the smoke house down on a South Street

Waitin' around to die

While all the while

You're still on my mind

While all the while

The sun sets in the west

While all the while

The moon rolls the tides

While everyone else

Goes on with their lives

I am goin' on with mine

I take the long route

I drive by the high school

I go see Mom

Get her out for awhile

And in the hallway

In those old picture frames

There's a kid with a smile just like mine

And she asks how I'm doin'

I say I've been fine

While all the while

You're still on my mind

Hell's freezin' over

The whole world's on fire

While all the while

You're still on my mind
