lyrics

I want to learn to play cello, I want to run
ten kilometers without doubling over
I want to effortlessly juggle work and children
While still being gorgeous and keeping my house clean

CHORUS
But mostly I want to spend my nights on the couch
With my feet in your lap and a tea in my hands
Laughing and talking and watching TV
While the kids snore softly in their beds asleep

POST-CHORUS
Bah dah dah...

I want to sleep like a baby, I want to bake
gluten-free cookies and learn to sew curtains
I want to be somebody you can rely on
To always embrace you as you want to be

But mostly I want to spend my nights on the couch
With my feet in your lap and a tea in my hands
Laughing and talking and watching TV
While the kids snore softly in their beds asleep
