Anytime Soon

You could come around once a year Like a Christmas ghost Or hold me down like an anchor, baby But you can't do both I can't be your father figure But I could be your friend Watch me burn my candle crazy At both ends Nothing's gonna change here anytime soon Catching fish in the morning, get drunk before noon Watching little brown bubbles floating in the spoon Could be soakin' in a warm bath or back in the womb Anytime, anytime soon Used to want to be an astronaut But I was just a kid Spent my days in a batting cage Where a robot pitched Once you were my blushing bride I was your nervous groom But now we're just more comfortable Sleepin' in separate rooms Nothing's gonna change here anytime soon Make a bed for the roses, hope that they bloom I don't know if it's safe, but I just assume I won't play in the majors or walk on the moon Not anytime, anytime soon Spin me a tornado, honey Cry me a monsoon Let's just get through the holidays And the terrible twos Christmas has passed It's just yellow snow Sometimes you gotta hear something That you already know Nothing's gonna change here anytime soon When it's all unpredictable, I can still count on you Lookin' for the mailbox with the red balloons I'll be late to the party, and I have an excuse Cuz no one likes breaking bad news It's nothing I'm wanting to do Not anytime, anytime soon
