overtime

Friends tell me to buy a house
it's the only investment in the future
one can make nowadays they say
Putting in overtime
and reserving no time for play
so I can feel like I'm putting in the effort
of building our future

I hate work
but that two story over priced sellers market house
is appealing to me

I have bags under my eyes
I can't remember the last time I had enough time to dream
kind of weird how by being unhappy
is a way of saying how happy I am with you

If I had a hint of artistic talent
I'd paint you a picture
or write you a poem
so you would know how much I do love you
don't be confused,
I don't write poetry
I just can't sing

but tomorrow, like everyday
I'll get up at 4am
to go to work for you
