lyrics

Sitting simple as a C chord
I could smell you from the kitchen
You become a generation
just like your uncle goin' fishing

I'm happy hangin' in the background
cause it's your mom that you been missing
I'm full and fattened like a rain cloud
So I just sit back here and listen

Quietly shift on the couch careful not to
Invade precious space or the sounds left behind that
Old brazen young boy from your house
I'm appreciating not settling down

Right where I met you in the same house
I got to know you doing dishes
And every summer going back there (we learn)
A thing or two about tradition

What's a life on Earth without that
Without something to be missing
Like after dinner in an arm chair
With coffee brewing in the kitchen

I would sit and watch TV with you
through the whole apocalypse
We could sit and wait, and reminisce
til the world decides to quit
We could phone a friend, or ask your dad
for his endless movie list
We could watch the world
just waste away knowing we got the best of it

You're sitting sleepy in the front seat
And I could tell that you been dreaming
The way you're rolling to your right side
And the rate in which you're breathing

With New York City in the background
Our morning rested in the speakers
We became a generation
You know that certain kind of feeling
