Staying in love, making our way
The everyday stuff gets in the way
Those deadlines and bills, tantrums and spills
We gotta wipe up, oh, endlessly ...
We could go make love, but dinner’s to make
A mess to clean up that we never made
I'd show you I love you with a dozen red Roses,
First let me deal with the kids' runny noses.
Spending our lives picking up toys
Clearing a path through the mayhem and noise.
Who’s dropping them off? Who’s picking them up?
One's fallen down, hell the other's run off.
Staying in love is no simple task
One day you’re a hero, the next you're an arse
The Falling was easy, the staying is hard
Like riding a bike, though not really at all
All I can say is I wouldn’t have it any other way
All I can say is I love you all
We're making it up, as we go along
Terrified they'll notice that we're doing it wrong
We're finding our way, blind In the dark
Sure one day the kids'll say it's all our fault.
We won't make the news, no headlines here
The world'll keep turning if we disappear
And maybe we should, yeah, let's take a trip
Maybe some day, when the kids have all left.
All I can say is I wouldn’t have it any other way
All I can say is I love you all
It's all gone quiet, have we had a row?
Or is it just that moment when the kids have gone down?
I hope you know that I love you, I keep meaning to say
But the everyday stuff keeps getting in the way.
All I can say is I wouldn't have it any other way
All I can say is I love you all
And I wouldn’t have it any other way
