lyrics

Lyrics:

Every morning
in front of the looking glass
you practice the faces that
best show you got class
they'll never touch you and
they never know why
if they even get close
only you get to decide

I can't help you through your daily fight
but let me help you through tonight

Lunch tables set with work plans and advert ploys
that will get turned down by a boss who feels he's under employed
he's so corrupt he's never moving up and he's never stepping down
and you are determined to never let him see you frown

I can't help you through your daily fight
but let me help you through tonight

You’re always striving for a dream you keep in mind.
When friends betray you you always treat them kind.
You’re always working on who you want to be,
But who’s taking care of baby.

Dinner can be done and cleaned up long before it's time for bed
and we can share some laughs along the way
we can talk about moments we've gathered in our heads
then turn some records and just sway

I can't help you through your daily fight
but let me help you through tonight
