Time Out from Good Things by Jessica Rhaye

Time Out

Verse 1
Mama could you give me a kiss tonight
Put your arms around me say it’s going to be all right
Daddy do you have any change to spare
My wallet’s a little thin
Sister do you have any clothes to share
My pants stay fastened with a safety pin

Chorus
I think I’ll move back home for a while
Leave the real world behind
When things just start to fall apart
I know where I can turn
Feeling the way I do right now
I think I’ll just sleep in

Verse 2
Boss could you give me a raise today
I feel that I have earned after all these years
Or maybe I’ll win the lotto, be a millionaire
Spend it on whatever, hey I don’t care
Girlfriend could you meet me around half past eight
I need someone to talk to it’s been one heck of a day

Bridge
Ma you promised me you’d sing that lullaby
The one you used to sing to me Babe Hush Don't Cry
Tomorrow’s a new day I promise she’d say
And for some a fresh new start

Verse 3
The tree that we had planted when I was two
It lacked the sun and water yet it grew somehow
The swings I used to play on in my backyard
Seem so much smaller now
Are there no such numbers as the one I have dialed
Why won’t anyone answer, I’m still just a child
